Wheelchair users often struggle negotiating entry into and exit from buildings because of uneven ground. An EU initiative seeks to design a novel ramp that enables users to automatically command their wheelchairs to securely scale slopes without assistance.

Stairs and indoor and outdoor areas may be designed in such a way that they cannot be accommodated by traditional ramps even in disabled-friendly public and private buildings. This makes easy access to all types of buildings and public spaces very problematic or impossible for wheelchair users.
