DESCRIPTION:Powered wheelchairs play a vital role in bringing independence
  to the mobility-impaired. Our collaborative control architecture\, aims t
 o assist users in driving safely\, without undermining their own capabilit
 ies. We use measures such as joystick movement\, eye-gaze and secondary ta
 sk performance\, alongside more traditional metrics such as speed and accu
 racy to analyse both the system performance and the user interaction. The 
 experiments show that the collaborative controller allows users to perform
  manoeuvres more safely\, without the need for high levels of dexterity or
  attention.
