Abstract

A novel adaptive posture control for robotic wheelchairs was designed using feedback linearization techniques and Lyapunov theory. It is novel in that it uses a dynamic model of the mobile robot in the posture-control law. A switching control that changes the parameter-updating law is used to improve the adaptive control to avoid the effects of parameter drift. Experimental results show good performance of this adaptive posture control.
