Abstract

The ideas shown in this paper have been developed having in mind the maingoal of designing a completely autonomous wheelchair prototype. The state ofthe art of mobile robotics is compared with the new trends in the field. Theidea of autonomy made us focus our research in extracting the best fromconventional Intelligent Mobile Robots techniques, looking towards theconcept of Autonomous Mobile Systems (AMS). In order to clarify the body ofthe presentation, some practical examples, developed at our laboratory(DISAM-UPM), are included in parallel with the main discourse.
