Implementation of Low Cost, Reliable, and Advanced Control with Head Movement, Wheelchair for Physically Challenged People (original) (raw)

Hands and legs are the most important part of our mobility in day-today life. People will find difficulty in handling their daily activities if they have problems with their hands and legs (Physically challenged, accidental causes, and due to some health issues). Due to this incapability in movement causes several problems in their routine chores, and hence in order to provide a flexible mobility (stand-alone mobility to study, work, and day-today activities) in their life we came up this project "Low Cost, Reliable, Advance Control With Head Movements Wheel Chair for Physically Challenged People." In this project we are making use of Head Movements/tilts to control the Electronic Wheelchair for movements in all directions as per the need of the Physically challenged people, apart from head movements the wheelchair has certain propriety to another control signal (like Enable signal for Head control unit, Manual direction controls, emergency stop, power supply enable switch). Keywords Head movements controlled wheelchair ⋅ Low cost wheelchair using arduino UNO ⋅ Head tilts using accelerometer ⋅ 25 A current driver for high torque motors ⋅ Distance sensing based head movement control Reliable wheelchair for physically challenged people
