ATDev gives update on its journey building autonomous wheelchairs
ATDev has released an update on its work developing autonomous wheelchairs. The effort centers on a power wheelchair paired with a coordinated robotic arm intended to perform reaching and lifting tasks.
For the robotics and embodied AI ecosystem, the project links mobility systems with manipulation hardware under shared control. This type of pairing appears in multiple current research and commercial programs that aim to expand the range of physical tasks automated platforms can address.
The update identifies coordination between wheelchair movement and arm motion as an active development area.
