This project aims at increasing mobility and autonomy of users who are presently unable to safely operate an electrical wheelchair. The Driving Assistant compensates manual impairment, e.g. by avoiding obstacles and passing through doorways. The Qualitative Driving Assistant supports users who cannot continuously control the wheelchair but can give intermittent discrete commands. Both assistants can be used with the wheelchair’s joystick or—for paralyzed users—with a special head-joystick.
