Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to realize safe and easy operation of electric powered wheelchair for children with disabilities. An operation equipment is constructed by using four push buttons. In order to detect obstacles, PSD sensors are mounted on our prototype. By using obstacle information, safe directions are indicated and collisions to obstacles are prevented.
