Abstract
Aiming at solving the problem of traditional intelligent wheelchair-stretcher robot perception, this paper adopts the flexible pressure sensor to measure the contact pressure between the trunk and the robot and analyzes the correlation between pressure characteristics and pose angles using the gray correlation and multivariable correlation theory, realizing regression prediction of pose angles from the pressure characteristics and providing the technical solution for the intelligent perception of the wheelchair-stretcher robot. The experimental results and evaluation indicated the effectiveness of the force/position perception method.
