Abstract
In this paper a multi-agent system architecture for a modular mobility enhancement system is presented. The system consists of one or multiple mobile robotic platforms and a set of user defined application modules, such as chairs, tables multifunctional chairs etc. All these modules can be inexpensive everyday life items, that become functional when a mobile platform is properly attached to them. This way the system can act as a wheelchair, as a carrier of objects, or even as a walker.
