Design of Powered Wheelchair for a Differently Abled Person

Abstract

We know that the needs of many people with disabilities can be overcome with power wheelchair, but some portion of this community is finding it difficult to operate power wheelchair. Though we have evolved in the field of health care and technology, but we are still not good enough to solve difficulties of this sector of population. This project is related to an arduino controlled wheel chair along with an alternative use of manual joystick. The main objective of this project is to felicitate and increase the movement of people who are handicapped and the ones who are not able to move freely. Therefore, we are coming up with a design of wheelchair which will be an asset for medical department and to make it more advanced in existing technology and allows the victim to live a free life.
