A Intelligent Wheelchair Obstacle Avoidance System Based on Multi-sensor Fusion Technology

In this paper an intelligent wheelchair obstacle avoidance system based on multi-sensor data fusion technology is instructed. It giving rises to the hardware architecture of the wheelchair and develops a sonar and camera data acquisition system on the VC++ platform by which we could complete the sonar and camera sensor information collection and data processing. Use a T-S model based fuzzy neural network multi-sensor data fusion method for intelligent wheelchair obstacle avoidance. Some simulations were done to test the method in different environments and the method can effectively integrated the information of sonar and camera, give appropriate control signals to avoid obstacles.
