SYSIASS ? an intelligent powered wheelchair

This paper explains the motivations and the goals of the SYSIASS project. This project has three major ambitions: to design intelligent devices for both the assisted navigation of the powered wheelchairs and the secure communication of the data and to design multi-modality human machine interaction. Moreover, the challenge of the project is to take the needs of the users and the constraints that it implies into account at each stage of the project development. The devices developed during the project will be evaluated by the users through the clinical trials.
