Abstract: In this investigation, a theoretical high-level brain model of human intelligence is devised to develop a theoretical high-level architecture for service robots, named as Artificial Brain Architecture for Service Robot (ABASR). It provides intelligent mechanism for service robots with multi-heterogeneous input, meta-reasoning, scientific inference engine and communication. The ABASR is a high-level human inspired theory of intelligence. To validate ABASR, the prototype robotic wheelchair is designed. It has features like obstacle avoidance, assisting user in mobility of wheelchair and emergency communication to handler. The developed robotic wheelchair is evaluated in room environment with four disable children suffering from muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy and four caregivers. Findings confirm the importance of intelligent wheelchairs by providing independent mobility to user, reducing the cognitive workload of user, reducing the requirement of caregivers and bring confidence among its user.
