    Abstract

    A real time method of computer assistance for a disabled user/operator to move an electric wheelchair through a doorway, is presented. The wheelchair uses data from ultrasonic sensors. These data are processed and combined with information from an input from the user; in this case a joystick. The output is used to assist the user/operator in steering the vehicle.
