Intelligent Touchscreen Joystick for Controlling Electric Wheelchair

ConclusionIn this article, we explored an intelligent touchscreen solution that will address the problems faced by our target users. We conducted a thorough research on the types of existing control interfaces. We found that most of these interfaces use a discrete control of speed and direction. After testing it with a group of disabled users, we noticed the importance of analogic control. As part of our iterative design approach, we designed a prototype that provides this analogic control and in which we have implemented a calibration algorithm based on the neural networks algorithm.Graphical abstract
