The autonomous powered wheelchair should open a new generation of services for disabled people
SYSIASS Closing Conference 5June 17th 2014
Importance of assistive technologies in France
• 2008 – Some figures (French parliamentary report Poletti, 2008)
• 1,8 million people use a wheelchair at home • 1,4 million people have a motor impairment associated with other disabilities • 5,4 millions people use assistive technologies
– Including 5 million people who use it at home • Assistive technologies
– Human-Machine Interfaces for communication– Assistive Domotics
• There are around 150 models of powered wheelchair • Price between 2 700 € and 30 000 €.
SYSIASS Closing Conference 6June 17th 2014
Bench-to-Lifeside
• 2008 – Two major questions
• Smart wheelchair will not only be a «robotic bench»?– Best research strategy ?– Best partnership ?
• How can this project be funded? – Institutions– Companies– Europe
SYSIASS Closing Conference 7June 17th 2014
Research Strategy• The user in the center of the development process

CHAPTER 3: SYSIASS RESULTS
SYSIASS Closing Conference 15June 17th 2014
DEVICES FOR ASSISTED NAVIGATION
• Questionnaire to know the user’s needs 252 answers (November 2011 – May 2012)
• Definition of 3 scenariosScenario 1: Safe navigation
The intelligent device doesn’t correct the trajectory
Scenario 2: Semi-autonomous assisted navigation The user drives the powered wheelchair The intelligent device avoids obstacles and go through
doorways with the user action on the loop
Scenario 3: Autonomous navigation
