Intelligent Wheel Chair for Disabled Person
In the technologically developing world patients with some cognitive disabilities and impairment must be provided with smart wheelchair systems for their easy navigation and safety. This paper describes the wheelchair system with user friendly touch screen and joystick interface. Use of touch-screen enables less muscle movement and less muscular pressure than the self-propelled wheelchairs which are being used from ages. It enables a disabled person to move around independently using a touch screen application which is interfaced with motors through microcontroller. In order to change the direction, the touch screen sensor is modelled to direct the user to required destination using direction keys on the screen and that values are given to microcontroller. Depending on the direction selected on the touch screen, microcontroller controls the wheel chair directions. The joystick is to translate the movement of a plastic stick into an electronic information. Then it is processed through a controller. The speed controller works by varying the average voltage sent to the motor. This is done by switching the motors supply on and off very quickly using PWM technique. The methodology adopted is based on grouping a microcontroller with a touch screen.

Mobile Controlled Wheelchair
2015 IEEE European Modelling Symposium (EMS), 2015
Scientists and socialists have worked very hard to help the elderly and the disabled to adopt methods that can help them interact with society and smooth their mobility during everyday activities, rather than be dependent on others, or on using the traditional tools, mainly the wheelchair. However, this technology has basic drawbacks since the disabled still are not able to reach the wheelchair if it is placed far from them. The aim of this project is to introduce an automated ambulation tool, entitled "Mobile Controlled Wheelchair" that helps the users to locate their wheelchairs' position and move it via specific android application to the desired destination. This application also provides the user with the ability to control the wheelchair even when sitting on it; moreover, the user can give orders to adjust the path. The encouraging results set a path for implementing this concept in more aid-systems.
