Original abstract
Rehabilitation robots are assistive devices that may be operated by individuals with severe disabilities to carry out manipulation tasks that they would otherwise be unable to perform. This paper presents one example of such technical aid – a wheelchair robot, consisting of the manipulator arm mounted on the electrically powered wheelchair. Such robot provides the disabled person with the facility that augments both mobility and manipulation, allowing him/her to hold a cup and drink, eat a sandwich, turn off the lights, or open doors. Paper introduces new approaches in construction and control of this robotic system.
