Resumen
- Advancements in robotics and the growing focus on assistive mobility devices have led to the development of smart walkers. These devices provide intuitive and natural assistance for human locomotion through navigation that incorporates haptic, visual, and even auditory feedback. Smart walkers are equipped with functionalities and control strategies designed to ensure user safety during locomotion. This work discusses key considerations for control and navigation strategies for smart walkers, presents results from recent experiments, and outlines future directions for these devices.
