Abstract [eng] The final Master‘s project examines manufactured prototype of stair climbing wheelchair. Real time tests were performed to evaluate wheelchair performance. Test shown that technical issues such as frame rigidity, seat repositioning, safety and control should be solved. New design for the frame was created. Simulations were performed to evaluate rigidity of a new frame design. Together with new frame design more comfortable and safer chair was suggested. New control system (Arduino Uno R3) and safety sensors (ultrasonic sensor) were implemented to create smoother and safer ride.
