Abstract

Cognitive impairments prevent older adults from using powered wheelchairs due to safety concerns, thus reducing their mobility and resulting in increased dependence on caregivers. An intelligent powered wheelchair is proposed to help restore mobility, while ensuring safety. Machine vision and learning techniques are described to help prevent collisions with obstacles, and provide reminders and navigation assistance through adaptive prompts.
