This research develops an electrical differential for electrical wheelchairs with two motors instead of mechanical differential. The steering function is achieved by the control of differential speed between two motors, whose comm- ands are generated by a simplified differential formula. A digital full- bridge PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) motor driver and a single board controller with the PI control law is designed and implemented with the motorized wheelchair. The performance of the electrical wheelchair is tested successfully with simu- lations and experiments.
