Free Motion II: Autonomous Electric Wheelchair

Electric wheelchair with an autonomous navigation system that uses a neuro-fuzzy controller to avoid static and dynamic obstacles. The controller was first simulated in LabVIEW also using the Intelligent Control Toolkit (developed by ITESM) then quickly prototyped in CompactRIO.  The controller takes information from three ultrasonic sensors located in different positions of the wheelchair that measure the distance from the different obstacles to the chair and then decide the best direction that the wheelchair has to follow in order to avoid obstacles.
