Abstract
The wheelchair with good performance for the aged and disabled people is attracting attention from the society. Also, the wheelchair can provide the user with many benefits, such as maintaining mobility, continuing or broadening community social activities, conserving energy and enhancing quality of life. The wheelchair body must be compact enough and should be able to make different movements in order to have many applications. In our previous work, we presented the design and implementation of an omnidirectional wheelchair. In this paper, we present a multi-positions detection system with supersonic sensors for omnidirectional wheelchair tennis. The proposed system can find correctly the wheelchair position for collision avoidance.
