This paper proposes an assistive robotic solution for elderly people and/or people suffering from lower limbs problem. The proposed architecture consists of a Smart Wheelchair (SWC) and a Robotic Workstation (RW) which cooperate in order to perform an autonomous navigation and manipulation task. The system allows the user to choose a point on the map to move to and/or an object to manipulate. The SWC is able to autonomously navigate to the desired RW, while the localization is performed via an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). Moreover, QR codes have been used as landmarks to compensate the pose estimation error. The system was tested both in simulation and in a real scenario.

Abstract
This paper proposes an assistive robotic solution for elderly people and/or people suffering from lower limbs problem. The proposed architecture consists of a Smart Wheelchair (SWC) and a Robotic Workstation (RW) which cooperate in order to perform an autonomous navigation and manipulation task. The system allows the user to choose a point on the map to move to and/or an object to manipulate. The SWC is able to autonomously navigate to the desired RW, while the localization is performed via an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). Moreover, QR codes have been used as landmarks to compensate the pose estimation error. The system was tested both in simulation and in a real scenario.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
