M. Tech. Electrical Engineering. / Modelizes, simulate and analyse the behaviour of an ordinary manual propelled wheelchair (MPW) when equipped with a mechatronic drive module. This serves as a preliminary study towards investigating whether a suitable mechatronic drive module could be designed and easily plugged on an ordinary MPW without any difficulties to obtain full propulsion of the chair with the use of a joystick for navigation purposes. For modelling purposes, a dynamic systems modelling method called Bond Graph was used.
