Intelligent Solar based Gesture Controlled Wireless Wheelchair for the Physically Handicapped

This document presents a wide new way of handling a wheelchair. The wheelchairs which were being used in the present time are controlled by the persons sitting over them. The person sitting over the chair has to exert a force by his hands in order to move the chair and get to the desired location. So for the sake of the handicapped persons, a new implementation is going to be made on the wheelchair which enables the person to move the chair without applying any kind of force. The person just has to make a simple gesture using his body part (for example: hand) to move the chair. This application is done using the microcontroller and the accelerometer sensor. The physically handicapped people will have the option of controlling the system through hand gesture wirelessly from ranges up to several meters and will have the independence of using the wheelchair without the help of any other people. The project includes the locomotion of the wheelchair without the application of any external force. This application is done using triple axis accelerometer sensor and the complete phenomenon is made wireless by using RF modules.
