Abstract

Aging is a natural procedure prompt changes in quality and amount of muscles in skeletal, due to which muscle shortcoming and disability in moving of maturing populace. Crumbling pain in the arms and legs in the main cause of movement and the basic cause of disability in the spinal cord, cauda equina, or fringe neuropathy. As a result of seriousness and merits, electric wheelchairs are progressively requested in the recent era. Our proposed work is a smart electric wheelchair control by both joystick and a dependent user recognition voice system. To facilitate the patients in the outdoor environment an automatic sun-tracking solar plate is provided to charge the battery itself and automatically tracks sun position to provide not only power backup but also shadow to walk in sunlight. The navigation device is installed for providing real-time navigation which helps the user to select the shortest and easiest route. The proposed system is cost-effective of existing available in the market and also energy efficient.
