Abstract
In this paper, we describe ongoing work about a robotic walker-frame that was designed to aid patients in an orthopaedic rehabilitation clinic. The so-called Walker is able to autonomously drive to patients and then changes into a more traditional walking-frame, i.e. one that has to be pushed by the patient, but it can still help by giving navigation instructions. Walker was designed with a multi-modal user interface in such a way that it can also be used by visually, hearing or speaking impaired people.
