Bluetooth Automated Wheelchair

Abstract

The wheelchairs may all move inside and around manually. But a smart wheelchair gives a person independence and ease. A smart wheelchair is a mechanically controlled vehicle that can move on its own when a simple head or hand command is given by the user. As a result, using the wheelchair’s wheels requires less effort from the user. Moreover, this enables people who are physically or visually handicapped to move between two locations. Even if a person’s body is completely or partially paralyzed, only the movement of his head or hands will allow a wheelchair to go forward, backward, left, and right. The wheelchair and the human are in wireless communication. He keeps the apparatus that detects human movement on his head or in his palm. The chair will automatically move forward if the device detects a head swing. The process is comparable to another such as left, right, and backward. If the head is stationary and not moving, it is regarded as having stopped. The experimental version of our product works by pairing the mobile Bluetooth with the Bluetooth module installed in the wheelchair. The Arduino Uno supports Bluetooth and wheel movement and detects human movement.
