Teachers and students of the artificial intelligence institute of Xidian University, in Shaanxi Province, in northwestern China, have developed a smart wheelchair
for Zhang Wei, a member of the post-1990 generation with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS. The new device was created specifically for people with ALS in order to:
better improve their daily lives.
According to Sun Long, who has participated in research and development, the wheelchair is equipped with an eye tracking system and advanced technologies, including AI and the Internet of Things. The system can read the thoughts of ALS patients by identifying their eye movements to collect information and then automatically move the wheelchair.
It can also move safely at night. Other improvements will be made to the system to correct minor deviations when operating under bright light.
