Smartphones For Smart Wheelchairs
Abstract
Over the years transportation for the common man has become more and more easy and
convenient. But one section of the society has gone largely ignored from this development, the
physically challenged people. For the physically challenged there has been not much development or
improvement in the way of transportation. This project is an attempt at improving the mode of
movement easier and convenient for the physically challenged.
In this project a battery operated electrical wheel chair will be constructed. The wheel chair will be
driven using motors and controlled by a microcontroller based embedded system. The most
significant aspect of the project is the voice based control of the wheel chair. Since the wheel chair
depends on the voice input it can be used by any one.
The project aims in the design of a voice operated system wherein a person with an android device
can operate it from anywhere. The android device on hearing the voice processes the same gives
suitable controls to different processes.
The Android device uses dedicated software for getting the sound input and processing the same to
analyze the different sound inputs. The user has to once set up the microphone and other
accessories for proper input of the sound signal. The Android device gives suitable control signals to
the hardware and the hardware controls the devices accordingly.
Once the project is implemented the user of the wheel chair has to sit in the wheel chair and just say
what direction he wants to move in from an android device. The microcontroller receives the word
and accordingly controls the motor drives. The motor drives finally run the motors, thus enabling the
movement. Thus this project can offer a very easy and convenient mode of movement to the
physically challenged people. Also this project is applicable for people with any disabilities, be it
handicapped or paralyzed people or old people who do not have the muscular strength to move by
themselves.
Android based device like a smart phone can be used for this purpose. Android is chosen for the
project because it is becoming the default operating system for mobile devices all over the world.

Existing System
1. In existing system, the physically challenged persons are dependent on others for moving
somewhere using wheel chairs.
Proposed System
1. In the proposed system, a voice operated wheel chair is designed.
2. The devices can be controlled Android device.
