....without becoming intrusive to the user s desires. This shared control system is implemented on a mobile robotic platform and field tested in an assisted living facility with results presented in this paper. Our research builds on a rich body of literature on robotic walkers and assistive devices [9, 10, 11, 12, 13]. Existing robotic walkers provide safety and stability to their users, through means such as collision avoidance or limits on velocities and accelerations for walkers operating on uneven terrain. However, we are unaware of a robotic walker that uses knowledge of its own location to provide ....
....in its use of a haptic interface on a walker to mediate human and robot control. Figure 1: The XR4000 platform with walker handlebars and LCD display. 2 Background Existing work on intelligent walkers is often centered on collision avoidance utilizing corrective braking or steering action [9]. Limited path planning is utilized in the immediate vicinity for the purposes of gently guiding a user around an obstacle. Collision avoidance through local path planning has also been implemented in powered wheelchairs [12, 13] The PAMM cane incorporated limited guidance functionality through ....
