Abstract

This paper deals with method to measure the user's driving-will force and to control the power-assisted wheelchair. To solve this problem, we extract the user's driving-will by using the mathematical motor model. And then, we get the linear and angular velocity at the center of the vehicle. Wheel velocities are also measured from center velocity. Finally, power-assisted electric wheelchairs are controlled by these data. Here all processes are verified by simulation.

본 논문은 힘 보조형 휠체어에 있어 힘 센서 없이 사용자의 구동 의지를 측정하는 방법과 이를 통한 차량제어 방법을 제시한다. 이를 위해 먼저 모터의 수학적 모델을 이용하여 사용자의 구동 의지력을 추정하는 알고리즘을 도출한다. 이후 도출된 외력을 기반으로 사용자가 원하는 차량 속도 및 방향을 추정한다. 이를 토대로 차량의 이동량을 결정하고 차량이 이에 따라 구동되도록 알고리즘을 구성하였으며 이를 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.
