Abstract:
Wheelchairs are used by the people who cannot walk due to physical illness, injury or other disability. Now a day’s development promises a wide scope in developing smart wheelchair. This paper is to describe an intelligent wheelchair using smart phone is to develop to control the rotation of wheelchair based upon voice and gesture movement for the physically challenged persons. In build voice and gesture function are used to control the wheelchair as well as by using smart phones reading SMS, E-mail , and News. In this system Thermostat is used to monitor the Body temperature and heartbeat. This system that allows the user to robustly interact with the wheelchair at different levels of the control and sensing. The system is divided into 3 main units Voice recognition, gesture recognition and Motor control through signal conditioning. The system is based on grouping an Android phone with Microcontroller.
Key Words:
Android phone, Microcontroller PIC16F877A, Gesture recognition, Thermostat, HC-05 Bluetooth module
