Conference Proceeding: Wheelchair-mounted robotic arms: analysis, evaluation and development
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper focuses on kinematic analysis, evaluation and design of wheelchair mounted robotic arms (WMRA). It addresses the kinematics of the WMRA with respect to its ability to reach common positions while performing activities of daily living (ADL). A procedure is developed for the kinematic analysis and evaluation of WMRAs. In an effort to evaluate two commercial WMRAs, the procedure for kinematic analysis is applied to each manipulator. Design recommendations and insights with regard to each device are obtained and used to design a new WMRA to overcome the limitations of these devices. This method benefits the researchers by providing a standardized procedure for kinematic analysis of WMRAs that is capable of evaluating independent designsAdvanced Intelligent Mechatronics.
