We present semi-supervised deep learning approaches for traversability estimation from
fisheye images. Our method, GONet, and the proposed extensions leverage Generative …

In this paper, we design a new controller for power-assisted wheelchairs. Conventional
power-assist controllers only focus on the amplification of the human input force using …

This paper describes a novel regenerative braking control scheme of electric power-assisted
wheelchairs for safety driving on downhill roads. The ldquoelectric power-assisted …

In the control of industrial robots, both safety and reference tracking performance are
required. For safe human-robot interaction, robots should exhibit low mechanical (or …

Nowadays powered wheelchairs are widely utilized to help people's locomotion. However,
many commercialized powered wheelchairs still provide unsatisfactory ride quality, which is …

A dynamics-based posture-balancing control strategy for a new one-wheel pendulum robot
(OWPR) is proposed and verified. The OWPR model includes a rolling wheel, a robot body …

This paper describes a driving control scheme of electric power-assisted wheelchairs for
assistive driving on various large disturbance roads. The “power-assisted wheelchair” that …

In this paper, a gravity compensated power-assisted wheelchair (GCPAW) is proposed,
which will climb a hill, and stop, and make as a delicate movement in the middle of the hill as …

This paper analyzes the effect of towing a single-axle trailer on static tip-over stability for field
mobile robots on slopes. For this purpose, this study defines altered supporting polygons …

This paper proposes a practical and effective disturbance attenuation control algorithm to
support the safe and comfortable operation of power-assist wheelchairs. The power-assist …
