Short summary
This paper proposes a bionic, multi-posture wheelchair, based on the proposed human–wheelchair coupling model, according to the movement characteristics and requirements. The two key factors in designing the multi-posture wheelchair, the consistency of the motion center and the compensation of the shifting center of gravity, are analyzed in this paper. The novel multi-posture wheelchair can implement the sit-to-lie and sit-to-stand transformations with a maximum slipping distance of 10.5 mm.
