Abstract

This paper focuses on the development of a novel Human Machine Interaction strategy based on Augmented Reality for the semi-autonomous navigation of a power wheelchair. The final goal is the development of a shared control, combining direct control by the user with the comfort of an autonomous navigation based on augmented reality markers. A first evaluation has been performed on the real test bed.
