Abstract
In this research, Authors participated in a research project about “Development of Intelligent Power Wheelchair assisting for people on Daily Life”. Recently, the number of elderly people increases. And the development of welfare apparatus having the effect of minimizing care is required because the care prevention is important to promote independence and moderate exercise for elderly people by one's power. Authors develop Intelligent Power Wheelchair along with minimizing care needs for frail elderly people. This wheelchair consists of commercial sensors and a commercial wheelchair. With data observed by these sensors, the movement of the person is analyzed. In the welfare engineering, to provide the most suitable service, it is important a system understands the human's intention. This Wheelchair has three functions, Approach Function by human gesture, Operation Assistance Function by posture recognition, and Corner Assistance Function by motion recognition. Finally it shows utility by verification experiments
