Abstract
This paper presents a novel algorithm for controlling a new endurance test rig for the validation of a safety switch of the Cortech HealthCare Ltd. shower and commode chair. The paper outlines the design of the algorithm as well as the main concept and criteria together with the validation and testing methods. In order to validate the algorithm, a set of preliminary trials is also presented.
