Title:
CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WHEELCHAIR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2010094533
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To control a device such that device operates in a smooth manner.
The system may switch between control architectures or vary gain coefficients used in a control loop to control the device. As the architectures or gains are switched, the control signal may be smoothed, so that the device does not experience an abrupt change in the control signal it receives. In one embodiment, the control signal may be smoothed by adding a decaying offset value to the control signal to create a smoothed control signal that is applied to the device.
