Electric wheelchairs sometimes are used in complex terrain, such as slopes, stairs, ravines, etc. If there is no rapid and accurate judgment and decision-making for the current situation, the wheelchair may lose control and become unstable, which may will lead to serious consequences. The intelligent electric wheelchair studied in this paper can conduct stability analysis when moving on different terrains based on its own motion state. This paper uses ADAMS simulation software to build a wheelchair model according to the size of an existing wheelchair. The stability pyramid technique used in this paper has a good judgment on the tip-over stability of the object. This paper also has a more comprehensive judgment for slippage instability. In the simulation and experiment, the slippage and tip-over instability are verified. Theoretical analysis and actual simulation demonstrated that the developed smart wheelchair has high reliability for stability analysis in different environments.
