This paper presents how to create a 3D map and solve problems related to generating a global path planning for navigation. Map creation and localization were performed using the RTAB-Map package to create a 3D map of the environment. In addition, when the target point is within the obstacle space, the problem of not generating a global path was solved using the asr_navfn package. The performance of the proposed system is validated through experiments with a wheelchair-type robot.

Nowadays with advancement in technology and aging society, the number of disabled citizens is increasing. The disabled citizens always need a caretaker for daily life routines especially for mobility. In future, the need is considered to increase more. To reduce the burden from the disabled, various devices for healthcare are introduced using computer technology. The power wheelchair is an important and convenient mobility device. The demand of power wheelchair is increasing for assistance in mobility. In this paper we proposed a robotic wheelchair for mobility aid to reduce the burden from the disabled. The main issue in an autonomous wheelchair is the automatic detection and avoidance of obstacles and going to the pre-designated place. The proposed algorithm detects the obstacles and avoids them to drive the wheelchair to the desired place safely. By this way, the disabled will not always have to worry about paying deep attention to the surroundings and his path. User has a handheld bio-sensor monitoring system for get user's bio-signal. If user detects unusual signal, alarm send to protector.

In this paper, we propose the Autonomous Stair-climbing system based on data from ToF sensors and IMU in developing stair-climbing robots to passive wheelchair users. Autonomous stair-climbing system are controlled by separating the timing of landing gear operation by location and utilizing state machines. To prove the theory, we construct and experiment with standard model stairs. Through an experiment to get the Attack angle, the average error of operating landing gear was 2.19% and the average error of the Attack angle was 2.78%, and the step division and status transition of the autonomous stair-climbing system were verified. As a result, the performance of the proposed techniques will reduce constraints of transportation handicapped.

In the present study, as part of the technology development (Quality of Life Technology, QoLT) to improve the socio-economic status of people with disabilities as an extension of these studies, we propose the development of the smart wheelchair system and navigation technology for stable and safe driving in various environments. For the disabled and the elderly make driving easy and convenient with manual/autonomous driving condition, we firstly develop the user-oriented smart wheelchair system with optimized sensors for environment recognition, and then we propose a navigation framework of a hierarchical structure to ensure real-time response, as well as driving stability when traveling to various environmental changes, and to enable a more efficient operation. From the result of several independent experiments, we ensure efficiency and safety of smart wheelchair and its navigation system.

In this paper, The vehicle's path construction method for motorized wheelchair's autonomous navigation in a building through analysis of a corridor image using vision system has been proposed and We detected lines of vertical axis through camera distortion parameter, which was measured by camera calibration in a corridor image. Then we got the feature points in the lines. We analyzed the distance of feature points and what is feature points. we reconstructed corridor image to vehicle's path.

The rehailitation robot, one of the service robot, is the important area in the service automation. In the paper, we describe the overall configuration of KARES(KAIST Rehabilitation Engineering System), which is an intellingent rehabilitaion robotic system designed to assist the independent livelihood of the handicapped and the eldrly. KARES consists of the 6 degree of freedom robot arm mounted on a wheelchair, the controller ofr the arm, sensors to perceive environment, and user interface. Basic desired hobs in KARES are gripping the target object and moving it to the user's face for eating, drinking, or cooperation work wiht the mouth. Currently, the manual operation of the arm is available for gripping to target objects. The autonomous functionality will be ginven for the facilities of the human operator.

The suitcase can follow its owner all on its own via the Bluetooth connectivity in your phone. A robotic vacuum cleaner than can understand voice commands and even follow homeowner. Robots are used in a variety of applications such as a robot wheelchair. In this paper, I focus the problem of automatic return to the base in the process of developing the moving robot for loading things. In this paper, I propose the indoor localization method which is able to determine the position of the robot in the building by using image processing techniques.

KARES (KAIST Rehabilitation Engineering System) is the rehabilitation robot system in the type of the 6 degrees of freedom robot arm mounted on the wheelchair, in order to assist the independent livelihood of the disabled and the elderly. The interface device for programming and controlling of the robot arm is essential in the rehabilitation robotic system. Specially, in the case of the manual operation of the robot arm, the user has the burden of cognition and the difficulty for the operation of the robot arm. As a remedy, color vision system for the autonomous performance of jobs is proposed, and four basic desired jobs are specified. By mounting the camera in eye-in-hand type, color vision system for KARES is set up. The desired jobs for picking up the target and moving it to the user's face for drinking are successfully performed in real-time at the indoor environment.
