A study of designing the stair-climbing mechanism for electric-powered wheelchair used by the disabled

Abstract

The objective of this article is to report the results of studying, designing
electric-powered wheelchair that can climb stairs. The study focuses on
innovating and developing mechanical transmission assemblies of the
stair-climbing mechanism, they are the main components of stairclimbing wheelchairs used by the disabled. Observing kinetics,
dynamics and simulating the wheelchair motion are done by
professional softwares. Manufacturing and testing were implemented at
Vinh Long University of Technology Education, the research group is
carrying out experiments to finish the design and manufacture.
