Abstract

In this paper, the elementary model of an intelligent vehicle was studied and implemented for the seniors and patients. Two microcontrollers were used as the control center that simplified the complexity of the program, and also enabled the vehicle to drive in two models, automatic tracking and remote control. Fuzzy control was applied to make the vehicle more smoothly in tracking according to actual needs. Cooperating with the lift platform, robot arm users can grab something in a certain range. The device is reliable and convenient. We believe that it will distinguish itself in medical field, once is put into production.
