Abstract
The M3S bus is a proposed standard digital communication bus designed to improve access to technical aids by disabled people. It provides a standard interface between input devices and end-effectors, allowing d evices from different manufacturers to be linked in the same system. T he bus is primarily intended for use on wheelchairs. It is based on an industry-standard protocol, CAN, and includes additional signal lines to increase safety and integrity.
