ArXi:2603.13698v1 Announce Type: cross While powered wheelchairs reduce physical fatigue as opposed to manual wheelchairs for individuals with mobility impairment, they demand high cognitive workload due to information processing, decision making and motor coordination. Current autonomous systems lack social awareness in navigation and transparency in decision-making, leading to decreased perceived safety and trust from the user and others in context. This work proposes Socially Aware Autonomous Transparent Transportation (SAATT) Navigation framework for wheelchairs as a potential solution.
