为了帮助护工推动传统的商业化手动轮椅，当病人（老年人或残疾人）坐在轮椅上时，在这项研究中，我们开发了一种新型的动力附加单元（PAU），用于护工推动轮椅，具有无传感器速度控制和动力辅助。这一发展基于以下三个概念：使我们的PAU(1)易于与轮椅连接和分离；(2)能够适应大部分的常规商业化轮椅；(3)成本低。为了提高其性能，实验实现了一种简单的无传感器速度控制。在此基础上，提出了一种无传感器助力轮椅的方法，并进行了仿真。结果验证了所提出的两种控制方法的有效性。
In order to help an attendant who are pushing a conventional commercialized manual wheelchair in which a patient (an elderly or disabled person) is sitting in the wheelchair, in this study, we have been developing a novel power add-on unit (PAU) for attendant propelled wheelchair with sensorless speed control and power assistance. This development is based on the following three concept: to make our PAU (1) easy to be attached to and detached from the wheelchair; (2) able to be used to the most of the conventional commercialized wheelchairs; (3) have a low cost. To enhance its performance, a simple sensorless speed control is experimentally realized. Further, in order to make the attendant more easily and comfortably propel the wheelchair, a sensorless power assist approach is proposed and simulated. The results verified the effectiveness of the proposed two control approaches.
