Head-guided wheelchair control system

Published: 25 October 2010 Publication History

Abstract

Many individuals using a wheelchair do not have the use of their hands, thereby impeding their ability to control a motorized wheelchair. Available systems that accomplish wheelchair control utilize potentially inhibitive peripheral devices. The purpose of this project was to design a system that allows individuals to control a motorized wheelchair with simple head movements. This system consists of a self-designed program, headset, and a control module that interfaces with a motorized wheelchair joystick.
