Abstract

Recently, there are developed and implemented diverse robots that collaborate with various devices to assist humans. Also, the industrial robots have many applications in factory operations. Additionally, robots like vacuum cleaners, security robots, therapy robots, and wheelchair robots can assist humans in various tasks. Therefore, the utilization of robots and associated technologies have great significance in enhancing the quality of life. In the world, there are over one billion of people with disabilities who depend on wheelchairs for their mobility. In this paper, we consider the riding comfort issue of omnidirectional wheelchair robot. We implemented a measurement system to improve and make more comfortable the riding of omnidirectional wheelchair robot. We carried out some experiments. The experimental results show that 0.7 [s] is a good time for acceleration and deceleration in order to have riding comfort of omnidirectional wheelchair robot.
