Actually: Autonomous Navigating WheelChair-Robot

As part of several student projects, a so-called “zero-gravity relax chair” is being developed at THWS on an omni-wheel robot drive platform with the aim of being able to navigate comfortably and autonomously in retirement homes and to offer comfortable sitting and reclining positions to suit requirements:
