DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF A NOVEL SIDEWALK FOLLOWING VISUAL CONTROLLER FOR AN AUTONOMOUS WHEELCHAIR

This paper presents a study that focuses on sidewalk following problem of an autonomous wheelchair.The main goal is to propose a solution to the urban mobility problem of people with walking disabilities.The study offers an efficient control system design for this task.A linearized wheelchair model is constructed and image-based visual servoing is

Harsh environments and confined spaces require that nondestructive inspections be conducted with robotic systems.Ultrasonic guided Hair Brush waves are well suited for robotic systems because they can provide efficient volumetric coverage when inspecting for various types of damage, including cracks and corrosion.Shear horizontal guided waves are e
