Abstract:Abstract. Millions of elderly people around the world use the walker for their mobility; nevertheless, these devices may lead to an accident. One of the cause of these accidents is misjudge the terrain. The main objective of this work is the implementation of a ground change detector in real time on a small and light embedded system that can be clipped on a rollator. As a long-term goal, this device will allow users to anticipate entering dangerous situations. We implemented an algorithm to detect ground chang… Show more
