    Area of Science:

    • Robotics
    • Rehabilitation Engineering
    • Human-Computer Interaction

    Background:

    • Architectural barriers limit mobility and independence for electric power wheelchair (EPW) users.
    • Robotic wheelchairs present potential solutions but often lack user input and real-world testing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the effectiveness and usability of a novel legged-wheel robotic wheelchair compared to standard EPWs.
    • To gather user feedback on performance in indoor and outdoor environments.

    Main Methods:

    • A mixed-method approach was used, collecting driving metrics, usability assessments, and qualitative user feedback.
    • Comparison between a legged-wheel robotic wheelchair and standard EPWs in diverse environments.

    Main Results:

    • Users found the robotic wheelchair challenging to learn initially, but overall usability and effectiveness were comparable to standard EPWs.
    • The robotic wheelchair demonstrated improved stability and reduced vibration on uneven terrains.
    • User feedback indicated benefits for inaccessible areas but suggested improvements in seating, maneuverability, and indoor functionality.

    Conclusions:

    • Robotic wheelchairs show promise for enhancing outdoor safety and comfort.
    • Integration of fundamental EPW functions is crucial for supporting users' health and indoor mobility.
    • User perceptions are vital for validating the effectiveness of advanced mobility devices.
