  • Abstract
    This paper presents the design and implementation of an Autonomous Movement Robot based on a Wheelchair. The target coordinates of the destination place are pre-established in the processing unit of the robot and it uses a GPS system and sensors in order to get its final destination and to avoid obstacles in its path respectively. The contribution of this work is the combination of several technologies and techniques that came from different areas such as mechanical, electronic and computer engineering.
