Feedback Control and Simulation of a Wheelchair

Abstract
This paper presents a wheelchair velocity feedback controller intended to reduce the control demands on a wheelchair driver in outdoor driving and in low speed maneuvering. A dynamic model of a wheelchair and its motor control circuitry is used in the controller design. A computer simulation study is conducted for the controller. The results indicate that the velocity feedback controller should make the chair easier to drive under varying road conditions.
