Abstract

Driving a motorized wheelchair at first glance seems like a simple activity to the. In reality, however, the ability to drive the wheelchair independently requires specific motor, visual and cognitive skills, and Attempting to the so without proper preparation and knowledge may pose a risk, not only to the user in question, but Also to the Individuals around him. Thus, computer vision can assist in the wheelchair control process through various tools. From this perspective, this paper presents a systematic review of references Aimed at the application of computer vision in wheelchair driving. The research sources Were The Following indexed databases: IEEE Xplore, Science Direct and PubMed. Thus, the systematic mapping in the elaboration of the review allowed us to identify the main gaps for the development of new research, in addition to directing the main publications related to the study. Finally, the results show That It is a constantly expanding area with great potential for development and applications.
