“…The MAS is used for interpretation and intelligent distribution of available information from all sources (the mobile elements and the environment), gathering and distributing it and combining the responses of the different modules to send commands to the actuators. This MAS will also be responsible of the support services -cognitive and mobility related -offered to the users, described in Cortés et al (2008).…”

Abstract:In this paper, we present the SHARE-it approach to the integration of agent technology with other existing technologies to build specific intelligent and semi-autonomous assistive devices for older persons and people with disabilities (both cognitive and/or motor). In particular, we explored the benefits of the concept of situated intelligence to build mobility platforms and other artefacts that enhance the autonomy of the target user group in their daily life so that they can be self-dependent enough to autonomously live in their preferred environment.

“…The researches usually aim to support the elderly or disability people who have difficulty with ambulation [7,8]. Thus, for the purpose of implementation of the robotic cart, the researches adopt the operating forces, which are applied to the handles, to control the motion of the robotic cart for supporting users ambulation [9][10][11][12].…”

Mobile robotic cart development to support home oxygen therapy patients: Study on handling interface for mobile robotic cart similar to wheeled walker

We propose a motion control interface system for a mobile robotic cart to support Home Oxygen Therapy (HOT) patients when they go out. Our goal is to realize a mobile robotic cart similar to a wheeled walker that carries oxygen devices in front of patients, because HOT patients whose physical strength has especially waned would like to use such a cart according to the results of our questionnaire given to patients. The proposed handling interface of the mobile robotic cart adopts simple mechanisms and commonly used force sensors to sense only pushing and pulling forces from the user. We also apply a two-degrees-of-freedom (2 D.O.F.) control system to control the velocity and response time of the robotic cart. The feedforward controller of the 2 D.O.F. control system, which is an impedanceadjustable element, is expected to be used not only to adjust the response time but also to compensate for interference between the forces applied by the user and the robotic cart during operation. In this study we evaluated the effectiveness of our proposed handling interface mechanisms and control system by performing several experiments on a prototype robotic cart, and then we carried out user tests on some HOT patients and received a positive evaluation of the robotic cart's performance.
