Prof. Jonathan Kelly collaborates with Cyberworks Robotics to create a self-driving, autonomous wheelchair

The wheelchair was seen cruising down the atrium of the University of Toronto’s Bahen Centre for Information Technology last week, pausing for a person in its path before rotating around them — all without a driver.
