Design of a Standard Wheelchair Extension Using a Semi-automatic Crawler System for Stair Mobilization with PID Control for Motor Speed

Research output: Chapter in Book/ReportConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

In Peru, 2.76% of the population, equivalent to some 932,000 people, have motor disabilities and use wheelchairs. These people face accessibility problems due to the lack of inclusion in architecture, especially when using stairs. The research proposes to design a portable extension for wheelchairs, which allows users to go up and down stairs autonomously and safely, by means of a PID speed control.
