ABSTRACT
A smart wheelchair refers to a Powered Wheelchair (PW) with computers, sensors, and assistive technology attached. Our research is concerned with a Smart Wheelchair with sensing capability, designed to provide global accessibility. This paralyzing phenomenon affected many great individuals like Stephen Hawking and Max Brito. In this paper, wheelchair users have access to a variety of situations related to their everyday life. Our project attempts to make the lives of the people suffering from disabilities easier and simpler, helping them be more self-reliant and independent, which restores their confidence and restores their happiness. Moreover, this system is designed to make it easier for people with disabilities to move about freely without harming themselves or the environment. It helps them to control their home easily as well. It will help disabled people operate the wheelchair on their own. The technology of Android is a key to helping people interact with machines and tools in new ways. As a result, their problem can be addressed by using android technology to control the movement of a wheelchair. A wheelchair monitored and controlled by an application of android mobile is created to assist handicapped individuals by controlling the movement of a wheelchair in a different direction. The IW Smart Wheelchair model utilizes algorithms and systems that are meant to give safe navigation assistance through collision avoidance and also provides more flexibility for individuals with disabilities and for the elderly people to control the smart home. The system software's main function is to use the IW smart wheelchair model and sensors to control various devices such as doors, windows, lights, and temperature. The mobile unit and the microcontroller unit are the two main components of the system software. This paper covers our goals of the design for the IW Smart Wheelchair model and by extension the IW Smart Wheelchair, as well as the present state of the system prototype and future work plans.
