Vulcan: the intelligent robotic wheelchair
Published on May 9, 2016
Prof. Ben Kuipers, CSE graduate student Collin Johnson, and ME graduate student Jong Jin Park have created Vulcan, an intelligent robotic wheelchair. Vulcan learns the spatial structure of the environment it moves through and it uses that knowledge to plan and follow routes from place to place. Robotic wheelchairs will benefit people who need a wheelchair, but are unable to use one because of multiple disabilities.
