Abstract
A method for controlling a robotic walking assistant that includes a wheeled base having one or more wheels, two handles and a foldable seat that are coupled to the wheeled base, includes: detecting whether two hands of a user have held the two handles of the robotic walking assistant; receiving a command from the user to select an operation mode in response to detection of the two hands holding the two handles; controlling the wheeled base to move in response to a walking assistive mode being selected; providing resistance to at least one of the one or more wheels according to selection of the user, in response to a walking training mode being selected; and locking the one or more wheels in response to a static training mode being selected.
