Abstract:
Technology has make a drastic change in the medical field but there are still
some people facing some problems. This wheelchair is fully automated and created
specially for patients and elderly people. This is not only a smart wheelchair but also
a deception wheelchair controlled by Arduino UNO with the support of some
special equipments and system. This is created to solve some ridicules problems
such as physically disabled people face problems in moving and energy of patients
are wasted in operating a manual wheelchair. Besides that, the helper becomes tired
by pushing the wheelchair with patient. Moreover, patients easily get injured while
shifting from wheelchair to bed. So the objective of this invention is solving the
problem of three main people in one shot. They are the patients or disabled people,
elderly people and also the helper. The basic methodology of this invention is two
DC motors are fix in the wheel to control the movement of the chair such as
forward, backward and also sides movement. The Arduino is programmed to receive
commands from voice recognition module and smartphone (Bluetooth) and operate
the motor driver and motors. The movement of the deception part is controlled by
another DC motor with the help of a switch. Through the findings, we found that our
project has attracted many patients and peoples. Future recommendation of this
project is adding safety features, increasing motor speed and multi controlling
system.
