A low-cost assistive wheelchair for handicapped & elderly people
In this paper, a mixed control wheelchair (MCW) is presented to overcome problem related to movement and user command for elderly and paralyzed people. The MCW comprises of five individual control blocks, which are fed at the main control unit to provide appropriate control actions. The main feature...
