The pressure sensor is installed below the back block cushion 302 and the buttock block cushion 303 to detect the patient's pressure distribution in real time and realize in-position safety detection during posture adjustment. The tilt sensor is installed on the back of the wheelchair back support frame 21, the wheelchair hip support frame 22, and the wheelchair leg support frame 23 to detect the adjustment angle of the base adjustment module 4 and the leg support frame adjustment module 5 and realize the detection of the position switching of each posture. The limit switch is installed at the start and end of the drive rod stroke of the electric push rod to detect the extreme position of the electric push rod of the base adjustment module 4 and the leg support frame adjustment module 5 and realize overtravel protection.

[0040] The intelligent driving module 12 also includes intelligent driving sensors connected in parallel with the intelligent driving drive module. The intelligent driving sensors include a GPS locator, an infrared sensor, and a lidar. The GPS locator is installed in the control module and is used for real-time location positioning and trajectory tracking of the deformable intelligent elderly care wheelchair robot. The infrared sensor is installed on the lower side of the armrest support and is used to detect the terrain of the surrounding environment. The lidar is installed on the upper end of the metal frame of the backrest and is used to detect obstacles in the surrounding environment.

[0042] like Figure 15As shown, this embodiment, in its specific implementation, includes the main structure of the elderly care wheelchair robot and a software control system. Their functions are as follows: the various modules and electronic components (such as sensors) in the software system control the robot's posture, structural changes, positional movement, and interactive control. Generally speaking, the microcontroller in control module 9 fuses information from the assembled sensors, receives information from the human-machine interface, and thus makes autonomous decisions. Specifically, each sensor is configured as a pressure sensor, tilt sensor, limit switch, and intelligent driving system, integrating data from GPS locators, infrared sensors, and lidar to monitor parameters such as the wheelchair's environment and position, obtaining its location, direction, and the distribution of obstacles in the surrounding environment. This detected information is returned to control module 9, thereby changing the elderly care wheelchair robot's travel route. Furthermore, by connecting to a transportation network, using GPS locators and real-time traffic information to confirm the location, the microcontroller transmits information about the destination and the robot's position. After confirming and correcting the position, a coordinate system is established based on the corresponding coordinates, and... The return values ​​from each sensor are confirmed using a mathematical model to determine the position of the entire system. Real-time data acquisition and correction are achieved through the microcontroller terminal to avoid obstacles. During the emotional interaction process, the device integrates visual sensors, sound sensors, touchscreen input collectors, and temperature sensors to perceive the vital signs, facial features, and audio status of the user sitting in the wheelchair. By connecting to a wireless communication chip or Wi-Fi, the device establishes a human-computer interaction interface, receives health monitoring data, performs cloud-based analysis based on big data, makes judgments, and shares user data in real time with community health service centers or hospitals via the Internet, while also accepting user requests for help.

[0043] Users of this elderly care wheelchair robot can establish health management files at community service stations for convenient emergency calls or health service applications. Through the mobile app settings, users can choose between voice and manual operation commands to facilitate use by quadriplegic or aphasic individuals, increasing the diversity of users suitable for this wheelchair. After selecting a command mode, all subsequent operations are issued through this mode, specifically through voice capture by the voice acquisition module. Users can then select action modes according to their needs, including posture adjustment, intelligent driving, and emotional interaction. When the posture adjustment mode is selected, the wheelchair automatically detects whether the initial posture is sitting. If not, it automatically adjusts to a sitting posture for easy use. Pressure sensors then continuously monitor whether the patient is in the wheelchair seat; only when the patient is in a seated position can the next command be received, ensuring patient safety. When switching to a standing position, the electric actuators of the base and leg support frame, under the control of the control module 9, sequentially move, adjusting the back support frame 21, hip support frame 22, and leg support frame 23 of the wheelchair to a vertical position in coordination with the driven linkage. An inclination sensor detects the standing posture and locks it in place after the posture is correctly positioned, improving operational stability and safety. When switching to a reclining position, the base adjustment module 4 and leg support frame adjustment module 5 sequentially move in coordination with the driven linkage 6 to adjust the back support frame 21, hip support frame 22, and leg support frame 23 of the wheelchair to a horizontal position. An inclination sensor detects the standing posture and locks it in place after the posture is correctly positioned. When switching to a sitting position, the base adjustment module 4 and leg support frame adjustment module 5 sequentially move in coordination with the driven linkage 6 to adjust the back support frame 21 and leg support frame 23 to be perpendicular to the ground, and adjust the hip support frame 22 to a horizontal position. An inclination sensor detects the sitting posture and locks it in place after the posture is correctly positioned. After the user selects the intelligent driving mode, the wheelchair sensors collect environmental information. The collected information is returned to the control module 9 for processing and analysis to obtain the location information of the elderly wheelchair. Then, based on the sensor data, the environmental information is modeled using the grid method. Next, an improved algorithm is used for global path planning and local path planning, and the optimal driving path is sent to the control module 9 to guide the wheelchair's motion mechanism to move to the destination.After the user selects the emotional interaction mode, the wheelchair sensors collect the patient's image and audio information, including facial expressions, body movements, head posture, and speech content. The system identifies the collected patient image and sound information, matching it against existing database information. If a user profile has already been created, the collected information is added to the existing database for analysis; otherwise, a new patient profile is created. A personalized patient model is built based on the images, audio information, and location information captured by the sensors. The collected information is then matched against the existing comparison model for emotion collection and analysis. This analysis determines the patient's current emotional needs. Once the needs are determined, an alarm command is sent to the management system for processing. The system generates the necessary dialogue, interactive screen images, and data information based on the emotional needs. Emotional expressions are then output through the speaker and interactive screen for emotional interaction in the elderly care wheelchair. This multi-functional mode improves the patient's user experience, safety, and emotional needs, expanding the user base.

[0044] This embodiment provides a deformable intelligent elderly care wheelchair robot. During intelligent driving, the wheelchair robot body, power module 8, control module 9, Bluetooth communication module 10, drive module, motion execution unit, and sensors form a system platform integrating perception and control. Then, the intelligent driving module 12 performs wheelchair positioning, environmental mapping, global path planning, and local path planning. The path planning algorithm flow is as follows: Figure 16 As shown.

[0045] The positioning of the elderly care wheelchair robot uses the Global Positioning System (GPS), in conjunction with a GPS locator, for positioning actions. The path planning algorithm for the elderly care wheelchair robot is a crucial component of intelligent driving technology, primarily including global path planning algorithms and local path planning algorithms. Based on the planned path, the elderly care wheelchair robot can perform functions such as autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance.

[0046] When wheelchair robots perform path planning, it is usually necessary to build a map model of the working environment to provide a search environment for path planning. Using a grid map method to model the environment, decomposing the environment into equal-sized cubes for external representation, is simple, efficient, and easy to implement.

[0047] The global path planning uses an improved A* algorithm to transform the discrete obstacle distribution into a continuous network of passable areas. Through prior understanding and analysis of environmental information, it constructs the optimal path from the starting point to the target point for the robot.

[0048] A* Algorithm Cost Function: ; in, It represents the sum of the actual cost and the estimated cost; This represents the actual cost from the current point to the starting point; It is a heuristic factor, representing the estimated cost from the current node to the target point. For the initial point (x0, y0) and the target point (x... n y n ).

[0049] The heuristic factor is calculated using the Euclidean distance formula: ; The heuristic function weights and search domain of the A* algorithm are optimized.

[0050] The heuristic function weights for the improved A* algorithm are as follows: The weights of the heuristic function should vary depending on the map environment. When a node is far from the target, the weights should be increased. By adjusting the weights of different nodes and narrowing the search space, search efficiency can be greatly improved, enabling faster access to the target point. When the current node is close to the endpoint, its weight is reduced to expand the search space, ensuring a safer path to the target. This is achieved by introducing variables... , The obstacle ratio between the starting point and the target point is expressed by the following formula: ; in, This represents the number of obstacle grid cells within the area between the starting point and the target point. This represents the ordinate between the starting point and the target point. This represents the x-coordinate between the starting point and the target point.

[0051] When the number of obstacles in the environment where the wheelchair robot is located is relatively small, increase Weighting: When there are many obstacles, the weight is reduced to allow for a more comprehensive exploration of all possible paths, avoiding getting trapped in local optima. This is achieved by introducing dynamic weight coefficients. This approach can better balance the weight of heuristic functions in path planning, overcoming the problems of traditional A* algorithms being prone to getting trapped in local optima and having low search efficiency.

[0052] The improved evaluation function is as follows: ; The search domain of the A* algorithm is improved and optimized as follows: Traditional A* algorithm, when performing a neighborhood search, traverses all eight neighboring grid cells in the current location: four fundamental orthogonal directions (up, down, left, right) and four diagonal directions (upper left, upper right, lower left, lower right). However, searching in some of these directions may deviate from the target point's direction, leading to unnecessary computation. To improve efficiency, discarding searches in the four diagonal directions can effectively enhance the A* algorithm's search efficiency. Only four neighboring nodes are retained in the main forward direction. After traversing these four nodes, if obstacles exist in all four, the algorithm backtracks to search the remaining four nodes. This neighborhood search can obtain obstacle information in the current search direction earlier, reducing replanning costs and improving the efficiency of obtaining candidate points that are close to the target node.

[0053] The improved A* algorithm employs an iterative expansion mechanism guided by a cost function. Starting from the initial position, the system traverses all neighboring grid cells. In each iteration, the grid cell with the lowest comprehensive cost evaluation value is preferentially added to the optimal path node set, and the heuristic function evaluation of neighboring cells is continuously updated until the target position is reached. The core objective of the improved A* algorithm is to find the shortest path from the starting point to the target point in a weighted graph or grid map, while minimizing the search space. A heuristic estimation function guides the search process, and the next node to be expanded is selected by evaluating the estimated cost from the current node to the target node.

[0054] The improved A* algorithm makes two improvements over the traditional A* algorithm: optimizing the weights of the heuristic function and optimizing the neighborhood. The improved weights of the heuristic function help the algorithm estimate path costs more accurately, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of path search; the improved search neighborhood helps the algorithm explore the solution space more effectively, find the global optimum or near-optimal solution, eliminate neighboring nodes and obstacles, and generate safe path points.

[0055] The improved Direct Path Avoidance (DWA) algorithm is a local path planning algorithm designed to solve the problem of safe movement of mobile robots in dynamic environments. Combining the robot's geometry and kinematics, the DWA algorithm can generate feasible motion and turning commands in a short time, guiding the mobile robot to its target without collision. In complex dynamic scenarios, if a robot relies solely on real-time sensor data for local obstacle avoidance, it is highly susceptible to falling into local optima due to fragmented environmental information, or even becoming completely disoriented due to a lack of awareness of the overall task space.

[0056] Global path planning integrates map priors and task constraints to transform discrete obstacle distributions into a continuous network of passable areas. Then, it uses graph search algorithms or sampling optimization methods to generate globally optimal or suboptimal passage sequences, providing global paths for subsequent intelligent driving modules.

[0057] The local path planning algorithm employs an improved DWA algorithm for robot local path planning and real-time obstacle avoidance in dynamic environments, addressing the issue of safe movement of mobile robots in dynamic environments. The algorithm consists of three core parts: dynamic window generation, trajectory prediction, and trajectory evaluation and optimal trajectory selection. An evaluation function is used to assess the predicted trajectories of different speed combinations over a certain time period, selecting the speed combination corresponding to the trajectory with the highest evaluation as the robot's movement speed. By combining the robot's geometric and kinematic characteristics, feasible motion and turning commands can be generated in a short time, guiding the robot to the target without collision.

[0058] Construction of the kinematic model for wheelchair robots: ; Among them, wheelchair robots The pose at time t can be represented as , This indicates the position coordinates of the wheelchair robot. This indicates the robot's heading angle.

[0059] Dynamic speed window generation: The DWA algorithm is an algorithm for local path planning and real-time obstacle avoidance of robots in dynamic environments. It uses an evaluation function to evaluate the predicted trajectory of different speed combinations over a certain time, and selects the speed combination corresponding to the trajectory with the highest evaluation as the robot's movement speed.

[0060] The DWA speed window is mainly limited by factors such as robot structure, drive motors, and environmental conditions. The robot's speed constraint, influenced by its own hardware performance, is as follows: ; in, , These are the highest and lowest linear velocities of the mobile robot, respectively. , These represent the highest and lowest angular velocities of the mobile robot, respectively.

[0061] Wheelchair robots are constrained by driving forces and have maximum acceleration / deceleration limits, further restricting their velocity space. express: ; in,( , ) represents the current linear velocity and angular velocity of the wheelchair robot. , , , This indicates the linear acceleration and angular acceleration of the wheelchair robot.

[0062] For a mobile robot to achieve obstacle avoidance, it needs to stop in time before colliding with an obstacle. This requires a speed limit that allows the robot to stop near the obstacle. express: ; in, This represents the distance between the current trajectory and the nearest obstacle.

[0063] The dynamic velocity window determined by the DWA algorithm, i.e., the intersection of the three velocity constraints, is as follows: ; Trajectory prediction: After determining the DWA velocity window, the angular velocity and velocity resolution are set as follows: , Uniform sampling is performed within the window, and the number of selectable combinations is: ; in, For the speed of the upper boundary of the window, The velocity at the lower boundary of the window. For the upper bound angular velocity of the window, Let n be the lower bound angular velocity of the window, and n be the number of velocity combinations.

[0064] Assume the current pose of the shifter is Assuming the sampling interval is Δt, the velocity combination is... The predicted trajectory can then be calculated using the following formula: ; Trajectory evaluation and optimal trajectory selection: The robot believes that there is an optimal velocity in the possible velocity space of the target, which can generate the best local trajectory within the current time range. An evaluation function is set to evaluate the obtained velocity trajectory in order to find the optimal trajectory and select the trajectory to execute.

[0065] Trajectory evaluation function: ; in, It is an evaluation factor from an angle. Let be the angle between the mobile robot's heading at the end of the trajectory and the target point. It is the obstacle distance evaluation factor, representing the minimum distance between the obstacle and the current trajectory; It is a velocity evaluation factor, representing the linear velocity value corresponding to this trajectory; , , These are the weights of the three evaluation factors, with values ​​ranging from [0, 1]. This represents the normalization process applied to the three factors. Each evaluation factor corresponding to each speed is divided by the sum of all trajectory evaluation factors within the simulation period. This avoids any single value being too large and having too much of an advantage. The normalization process is as follows: ; in, To simulate the number of trajectories sampled within a period, The current trajectory participating in the evaluation function.

[0066] Therefore, the larger the evaluation function value, the better the trajectory, and the optimal path is selected for the wheelchair robot to execute actions. The three evaluation factors of this trajectory satisfy the following conditions: farthest from the obstacle, smallest angle with the target point, and largest speed. The fusion of the improved A* algorithm and the improved DWA algorithm is a hybrid navigation strategy that combines global path planning and local dynamic obstacle avoidance, achieving motion control in complex environments through complementary advantages. The improved A* algorithm is responsible for generating the globally optimal path based on the known environment map, laying the foundation for local planning; the improved DWA algorithm processes sensor data in real time, and, considering the kinematic and dynamic constraints of the wheelchair robot, performs velocity space sampling near the path given by the improved A* algorithm, selecting the optimal path that conforms to the global direction and avoids moving obstacles and unknown hidden obstacles. By fusing the improved A* algorithm and the DWA algorithm, the transfer robot can achieve globally optimal path planning and autonomously avoid dynamic obstacles and hidden stationary obstacles. The algorithm first improves the A* algorithm for global path planning. After obtaining the global nodes, it uses the improved DWA algorithm to perform local dynamic planning for every two adjacent nodes. The coordination between the two ensures that the robot can plan the best path and move safely in both fixed and mobile environments, thereby improving the robot's environmental adaptability, efficiency and safety.

The control module 9 controls the state of the two electric push rods, which, in conjunction with the driven linkage 6, adjust the positions of the wheelchair back support frame 21, wheelchair hip support frame 22, and wheelchair leg support frame 23 to adapt to different postures and achieve desired state switching. When the corresponding electric push rod is driven to a position where the wheelchair back support frame 21 and wheelchair leg support frame 23 are vertical and the wheelchair hip support frame 22 is horizontal, the posture is sitting. When the corresponding electric push rod is driven to a position where all three are vertical, the posture is standing. When the corresponding electric push rods are driven to ensure that the wheelchair back support frame 21, wheelchair hip support frame 22, and wheelchair leg support frame 23 are all in a horizontal position, the user is in a lying position, thus meeting the usage needs of patients in different body positions and enhancing functionality.
