Side sensor coverage is like the front-back coverage. LUCI will see a person’s leg but not their toes. LUCI will see a wall but not an overhanging object like a wall shelf, doorknob, or handrail. It is important to know that based on user feedback, LUCI is tuned to get close to things on the side, even sometimes lightly scraping the arm rest, depending on how wide the seating assembly is set.
LUCI’s sensor coverage changes with the seating assembly position, specifically with the height and angle of the Scout. The Scout is LUCI’s forward facing radar.
The fact that the Scout moves with the seating assembly is a good thing because users need to be able to go up ramps!
LUCI® SAFETY REPORT
RAMP
The picture above shows a wheelchair with the Scout pointed straight at a ramp. The blue indicates camera collision coverage; notice that it is limited so that LUCI’s cameras won’t see the ramp as an obstacle and stop you from going up it. The pink indicates the Scout collision coverage which will identify the ramp as an obstacle.
If you tilt the seating assembly or elevate the footrest, the ramp should no longer register as an obstacle for the Scout as shown below.
