Systems, devices, and methods including a wheelchair-assist robot

A mobile wheelchair-assist robot system, comprising:

• a wheelchair-assist robot;
• a wheelchair-assist robot mount assembly constructed and arranged to be mounted onto a wheelchair, the wheelchair-assist robot mount assembly having a powered device mechanism that engages the mobile wheelchair-assist robot and causes the mobile wheelchair-assist robot to physically secure against a portion of a wheelchair in response to one or more inputs from a client device associated with the wheelchair, the wheelchair-assist robot mount assembly including a wheelchair-assist robot interface configured to communicably couple movements of the wheelchair-assist robot to the wheelchair from a first position remote and uncoupled from the wheelchair to a second position secured against and coupled to the wheelchair;
• and
• an autonomous imaged-guided docking component operably coupled to the wheelchair-assist robot, the autonomous imaged-guided docking component having circuitry configured to communicate one or more navigation control commands to vary one or more of propulsion, braking, or steering of the wheelchair-assist robot responsive to one or more inputs indicative of wheelchair-assist robot position relative to the wheelchair-assist robot mount assembly to move the wheelchair-assist robot between the first position and the second position.
