To address maneuverability constraints during contactless bed-chair transfers for disabled patients, this paper utilizesa2-SD (steer-drive) composite chassis for nursing robots. A multi-modal autonomous docking control system is proposed to resolve kinematic singularities during orthogonal steering and near-field optic...

In domestic care settings, the lack of professional nursing labor severely restricts the ability of disabled elderly individuals to perform independent posture modulation and toileting. Existing assistive equipment has a strong functional fragmentation, usually requiring separate devices or manual handling for bed-to-c...

Sustained uphill motion of two-wheeled self-balancing wheelchairs is challenging. Slope-induced gravity changes the equilibrium condition, driving-torque demand, and velocity response. This paper proposes a smoothly weighted hybrid control method. The method combines nonlinear model predictive control and a linear quad...
