Artificial intelligence wheelchair aims to put users in control.
More than a billion people around the globe need assistive technology to go about everyday tasks independently. A new artificial intelligence (AI) wheelchair is taking assistive technology a step further and giving people their freedom back.
Assistive technology is any tool that helps people complete everyday tasks they would otherwise find difficult or impossible due to disability. These tools include glasses, hearing aids, prostheses, pill organizers, wheelchairs or other mobility aids, communication aids and much more.
For many, whether suitable assistive devices exist, or if they have access to them, can greatly impact their quality of life. With the expanding capabilities of AI and internet of things (IoT) devices, there are growing opportunities to improve assistive technologies and make people’s lives easier.
