With the continuous development of science and technology, how to improve the life quality of the elderly and the disabled becomes an important research topic. Manual wheelchairs have been used for hundreds of years and have served as an important tool in hospitals, shopping malls, and homes to assist people with mobility problems. At present, most of the existing electric wheelchairs interact through joysticks and head trays, making it easy for users to use wheelchairs, but the elderly who are particularly weak, or some highly paralyzed disabled people can not use joysticks, which brings a lot of trouble to their lives.
The recognition of human activities can provide interactive services for users in various environments, use various sensory resources for recognition, and ultimately benefit users. At present, a variety of intelligent control systems have been launched, such as i-Drive technology, ATOM 106 system, etc. And the intelligent control system senses the user's head or gestures through the control module and sensor to give signals,controlling the wheelchair forward, backward, left, right turn, stop. If it encounters obstacles, it can trigger specific signals and alarm rescue.
Tray Array is available with either proximity switches:
Capacitive sensors are used to detect the presence of objects or bodies and can help users with limited strength trigger signals. These types of sensors are designed to detect non-conductive objects and are commonly used in i-Drive technology, ATOM 106 systems.
Since the proximity sensor is easy to install, it can usually be installed anywhere in a smart electric wheelchair, such as tray, cushions,pillows and armrests, giving the user maximum freedom of movement and security.
