“…• Improved safety and comfort: AI-powered navigation and control can help reduce the risk of accidents and injuries associated with wheelchair use. By providing real-time obstacle detection and avoidance, AI can prevent collisions and improve overall safety (Tatano and Revellini, 2023). Additionally, personalized control algorithms can improve user comfort and reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries.…”

“…This study compared the mechanical properties of these castors with those of a pneumatic castor with similar characteristics. In [11], a scientific examination of ten distinct ramps was carried out to assess the structures that directly impact the sense of comfort or discomfort experienced by wheelchair users with assistance, as well as the coefficients of friction of various flooring surfaces. In [12], a detailed examination of an automated control system was presented, which allowed a robotic assistant to push a wheelchair upstairs.…”

The rate of people with disabilities in Vietnam is about 7% out of a total of 98 million. Wheelchairs are popular assistive devices for disabled people and are often found in many places around the world, including Vietnam. This study proposes a novel design of a prototype electric wheelchair to support people with disabilities in Vietnam. The electric wheelchair model was successfully simulated and manufactured, fully meeting the proposed technical requirements. The proposed model works well and is suitable for the shape and physical strength of Vietnamese people.

As the design of various industrial items for the disabled is associated with a number of complications, requires a great deal of medical and constructive training, all the necessary standards have been studied. These standards relate to the ergonomic requirements of disabled people, the details of problems, as well as the technologies and opportunities needed in industry. The main types of existing wheelchairs are presented. Their advantages and disadvantages have been studied. Attention was also paid to the existing market in the given sphere, taking into account the possible market competition as a result of the project implementation. Due to the constructive, ergonomic-aesthetic study of the devices, a conceptual design of an innovative product in the given eld was developed. The study and usage of all this gives an opportunity to make wheelchairs designed for the disabled, accessible to a wider range of people, as well as ergonomically comfortable, technologically innovative and competitive in the commercial market.
