Assisted control of wheelchair based on driver's behaviour modelling.

M. Tech. Electrical Engineering. / Investigates a new approach of wheelchair control, based on the user behaviour recognition. This objective involves two steps in the resolution of the problem. The first step is to determine the action the user initiates. Therefore, the present study will mostly refer to literatures on car driver behaviour modelling, as several studies have been conducted in that domain. The proposed model of user's behaviour presented here is based on probabilistic graphical model, for instance, Bayesian network. The second step is the generation of an assistive control signal that will compensate the user input, depending on the driving task inferred by the Bayesian network.Experiments have been conducted on a virtual environment model developed in Matlab and several users participated to the experiments. The results show a great potential of Bayesian Network model to infer on human behaviour and also a satisfying output from the ANFIS model as it delivers signals following the user's behaviour.
