Abstract
This paper presents a group of intelligent mobile platforms, which can transport conventional wheelchair over them. Theses platform are supervisory controlled by a multiagent system, that support senior citizens or persons with disabilities situated in a given context (such as a Hospital) This system makes a main contribution enhancing the autonomy and mobility of the target population in the selected context and also serve as a stimuli in the rehabilitation phase.
