Wheelchair with object-taking function and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a wheelchair with an object-taking function and a control method thereof. The wheelchair includes an electric wheelchair, a humanoid robotic arm and a wheelchair control system, and the wheelchair control system includes an eye tracker, a microcomputer, a camera, and a microphone. The method for controlling the object taking includes the steps of: 1. the disabled person sits in the electric wheelchair and wears the eye tracker; 2. the disabled person firstly speaks to the microphone to tell what item he wants to take, and then looks at the position where the wheelchairis to arrive; 3. the wheelchair control system controls the position of an eye gaze point that the electric wheelchair needs to reach from the current position to the wheelchair; 4, the item that thedisabled person wants to take is obtained, and the center coordinate of the target information is determined; and 5. the wheelchair control system controls the humanoid robotic arm to reach the position of the item and take the object. The wheelchair has novel and reasonable design and high control precision, so that the electric wheelchair and the humanoid robotic arm can automatically assist thedisabled person to take things, which greatly facilitates the life of the disabled person and has strong practicability.
