Smart-assistive mobility apparatus and associated systems and methods

A smart-assistive mobility system utilizing a computer processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the computer processor, is configured to:

• receive a first user intent vector that corresponds to a force applied by a user to displace a smart-assistive mobility apparatus,
• receive a first usage data analysis metric that corresponds to one or more user-specific operating parameters captured during previous use(s) of the smart-assistive mobility apparatus by the user,
• match at least one of the first user intent vector and the first usage data analysis metric to a condition of a rule, and
• determine, by firing an action of the rule, an assistive action command of an assist type selected from the group consisting of a stand up assist, a sit down assist, a move forward assist, a move backward assist, a move rotate assist, and a move exercise assist, wherein the assistive action command is to assist displacement of the smart-assistive mobility apparatus in the direction of the user intent vector.

A computer-implemented method of smart-assistive mobility aid operation, the method comprising:

• receiving a user intent vector that corresponds to a force applied by a user to displace a smart-assistive mobility apparatus,
• receiving a usage data analysis metric that corresponds to one or more user-specific operating parameters captured during previous use(s) of the smart-assistive mobility apparatus by the user,
• matching at least one of the user intent vector and the usage data analysis metric to a condition of a rule, and
• determining, by firing an action of the rule, an assistive action command of an assist type selected from the group consisting of a stand up assist, a sit down assist, a move forward assist, a move backward assist, a move rotate assist, and a move exercise assist, wherein the assistive action command is to assist displacement of the smart-assistive mobility apparatus in the direction of the user intent vector.
