Approaches and learning phases for a robotic adaptive deambulation task

Abstract

The number of elderly people increases each year and their needs on technical aids represent a great challenge for robotics. This article presents a study about a mobility aid system integrating robotics and learning adaptive control. The system depends on using an auto-adaptive interface that improves the interpretation of the patient driving actions. The experimentation results show the advantage of such an approach for a deambulation task. We present two methods for an adaptive deambulation mode.
