A Low Cost Robotic Wheelchair System Using a Pan-Tilt Camera and a Visual Marker

Abstract:

In this paper, a low cost robotic wheelchair system with only a pan-tilt camera is explained. In order to reduce the development cost, an electric wheelchair using a visual marker which is capable of achieving a high level of precision in positioning an electric wheelchair without geometric features is proposed. Then, indoor navigation methods are explained, which enable automatic and hybrid navigation of an electric wheelchair with only a pan-tilt camera. Finally, experiment results obtained by considering a particular scenario for indoor navigation reveal the feasibility of the proposed robotic wheelchair system.
