Research into smart wheelchairs has been conducted for decades, but we have yet to see the widespread use of this technology among full-time wheelchair users. We argue that the main reason for this is that there is a mismatch between…

Robotic wheelchairs (RWs) offer significant potential to enhance autonomy and participation for people with mobility impairments, yet many systems have failed to achieve sustained real-world adoption. This narrative literature review…

With the number of people with disabilities (PWD) increasing worldwide each year, the demand for mobility support to enable independent living and social integration is also growing. Wheelchairs commonly support the mobility of PWD in both…

Wearable devices are a trending topic in both commercial and academic areas. Increasing demand for innovation has led to increased research and new products, addressing new challenges and creating profitable opportunities. However, despite…

As the global population of people with disabilities (PWD) continues to grow, so will the need for mobility solutions that promote independent living and social integration. Wheelchairs are vital for the mobility of PWD in both indoor and…

In Asia, many individuals with disabilities rely on wheelchairs for mobility. However, some people, such as those who are fully disabled or paralyzed, cannot use traditional wheelchairs despite having fully functioning cognitive abilities.…

Smart shoes have ushered in a new era of personalised health monitoring and assistive technology. The shoe leverages technologies such as Bluetooth for data collection and wireless transmission and incorporates features such as GPS…

The past few years have been marked by an increased use of sensor technologies, abundant availability of mobile devices, and growing popularity of wearables, which enable the direct integration of their data as part of rich client…

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a new technology that has received a substantial attention from several academic research fields in the last years. There are many applications of WSNs, including environmental monitoring, industrial…

To date, self-driving experimental wheelchair technologies have been either inexpensive or robust, but not both. Yet, in order to achieve real-world acceptance, both qualities are fundamentally essential. We present a unique approach to…

Safe road-crossing by self-driving vehicles is a crucial problem to address in smart-cities. In this paper, we introduce a multi-sensor fusion approach to support road-crossing decisions in a system composed by an autonomous wheelchair and…

In order to reduce the burden on caregivers, we developed an intelligent electric wheelchair. We held workshops with caregivers, asked then regarding the problems in caregiving, and developed problem-solving methods. In the workshop,…

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are the key components of the emerging Internet-of-Things (IoT) paradigm. They are now ubiquitous and used in a plurality of application domains. WSNs are still domain specific and usually deployed to support…

Animals play a profoundly important and intricate role in our lives today. Dogs have been human companions for thousands of years, but they now work closely with us to assist the disabled, and in combat and search and rescue situations.…

A smart ring is a wearable electronic device in the form of a ring that incorporates diverse sensors and computing technologies to perform a variety of functions. Designed for use with fingers, smart rings are capable of sensing more subtle…

A wireless sensor network (WSN) has important applications such as remote environmental monitoring and target tracking. This has been enabled by the availability, particularly in recent years, of sensors that are smaller, cheaper, and…

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is an emerging paradigm that will enable using wireless to its full potential in future networks, not only to convey information but also to deliver energy. Such networks will enable trillions of future…

Interdisciplinary research among engineering, computer science, and neuroscience to understand and utilize the human brain signals resulted in advances and widespread applicability of wearable neurotechnology in adaptive human-in-the-loop…

Soft mobile robots have emerged as a promising area of research with potential applications in various disciplines including but not limited to search-and-rescue, service, surveillance, explorations, and manufacturing. In this article, we…

Positioning has recently received considerable attention as a key enabler in emerging applications such as extended reality, unmanned aerial vehicles and smart environments. These applications require both data communication and…
