A solution to improve user’s mobility is to implement an autonomous navigation algorithm on powered wheelchairs. This paper presents a unique approach to achieve inexpensive and robust semi-autonomous assisted navigation for existing powered wheelchairs. Our prototype wheelchair platform is capable of localization, as well as robust obstacle avoidance, using only a commodity RGB-D camera and wheel odometry. It uses the localization data to autonomously plan and traverse to the desired goal locations in a known indoor environment.
