| Abstract | Stair climbing wheelchairs are capable of making the lives of disabled people significantly easier to maneuver. Stair climbing wheelchairs currently in the market are not affordable and do not provide autonomy. Therefore, this research proposes a prototype that is based on a rescue robot with the addition of sensors that allow it to analyze stair information and climb it autonomously. A dual flipper system is explored as a way of climbing technology and a seat balance prototype is installed for the comfort of the user. PID control system is used for stable climbing sequence as well as smooth balancing of seat. |
