Resumen

A rollator is an integrated functional application used clinically to empower and assist natural human mobility for the elderly or disabled users. In this paper, an integrated system of four-wheeled rollator is designed by introducing a novel mechanical design theory and a lateral stability tracking control is performed to validate the control feasibility of the four-wheeled rollator, providing an optimized procedure for further development of rollators.
