This paper investigates a new multifunctional elderly assistant and walking assistant robot (EWR), which can communicate naturally with users through a tactile-force sensor. Firstly, the mechanical structure of the robot is introduced, which can change its posture from an intelligent wheelchair to a second posture which can assist the elderly in walking, akin to a walking cane. In order for the posture transformation to occur, a posture driving system has been designed. In addition, a natural man-machine interactive control mechanism based on the tactile-force sensor is proposed. The tactile pressure signals have been utilized to achieve electronic differential steering control for the robot. The fuzzy recognition algorithm has also been used to distinguish the variation of the tactile-force signals in order to identify the intention of the users' motions and reduce misoperation while the fuzzy PID algorithm is used to control the speed of the motor.
