Android Controlled Smart Wheelchair for Disabilities

Abstract

This paper describes a control technology of wheelchair which may feel more flexible than traditional joystick controlled one. The main objective of our research is to develop new control architecture for a motorized wheelchair as well as an embedded system for monitoring critical patients. Such a smart wheelchair is designed for the disabled people in the developing countries as it will be very low-cost than existing others. Controlling is possible by android operated mobile or tab. In addition to button control, motion sensor controlling mechanism also has implemented. Moreover, bio-metric features have made wheelchair more suitable for critical patients. If the patient is in hostile condition, the wheelchair will produce an alert by raising the alarm with the measurement of the heartbeat at a particular interval.
