A walking assistant using brakes and low cost sensors

Smart Walkers are a category of robotic assistive devices particularly useful for the elderly. These systems help the users in locomotion and with respect to the classical walkers, reduce the risk of fall. This work presents a new system that has been developed using low-cost time of flight laser se...
