Abstract :
This paper presents a monitoring and control approach based on virtual impedance method for handicapped people´s assistance. The approach uses a wireless communication network which is based on 802.11 standards. This approach allows a reliable remote maneuvering with obstacle avoidance taking into account system´s interactive behaviour. To test the effectiveness of the proposed approach, simulations and experimentation are designed in this respect.
