An Fuzzy logic controller based Autonomous Wheelchair Navigation in more complex Environments
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
The electric wheelchair for handicapped is used to improve the displacement of disabled persons. An automatic navigation system is needed to ensure greater autonomy and security for the disabled person. Automatic control system is added to a manual control for autonomous displacement. This paper provides the design and implementation details of an autonomous, battery-powered robot that is based on Fuzzy Logic. The handicapped person needs more autonomy and flexibility in the home or in a hospital. The electric wheelchair can assist those with walking disabilities in getting around. In this paper, our purpose is to have an autonomous navigation for the electric wheelchair in the indoor environment. A method based on the use of an intermediate targets before reaching the final target is proposed. The used framework is considered as a structure of a disabled person home. The kinematic model of the robot is determined. Moreover, a fuzzy logic controller is developed. The proposed method is successfully tested in simulations.
