Forward and backward motion control of wheelchair on two wheels

The challenge in designing wheelchair on two wheels involves the design and implementation of suitable control strategies for a two wheeled wheelchair to perform comparably similar to a normal four wheeled wheelchair. It is important to note that a wheelchair on two wheels is expected not to take m...
