Abstract

This project is designed to give advanced and innovative technologies to the people facing various degrees of disability. This disability made us think about an idea to support them, so that they can help themselves in their day to day activities and are not totally dependent on other person. So a wheelchair has been designed to serve the purpose. BY using android mobile phone motion of the wheelchair is controlled, to send the message to the helper and to automate the home appliances. A smart phone advanced with Android Operating System, which is widely used everywhere can be used to run the application for navigation. The mobile phone’s Bluetooth is linked to an external Bluetooth which is further connected to the motor drivers via Arduino which control navigation and the home appliances like fan, lights etc. The wheelchair has two DC motors which are powered with separate battery.
