Indirect Feedback Kalman Filter Based Sensor Fusion for Reducing Navigation Errors of an Autonomous Wheelchair

Patients with severe motor disabilities have difficulty maneuvering a wheelchair. An autonomous wheelchair with facility for destination selection via a brain-computer interface or eye tracker would be a possible solution. Accurate localization is important for such an autonomous wheelchair. Normal...
