As the usage of the Android smart phones has been considerably increasing, a lot of applications have been developed for the benefits of mobile users. In the past, many applications have been designed aiming to help physically disabled persons. This paper presents an android application which providers several options for controlling the movement of wheelchairs effectively. The proposed application enables People with Disabilities (PWDs) to operate the wheel chair with minimum effort. Apart from voice commands, the proposed application detects and measures the tilt change, and moves the wheelchair based on the degree of the tilt. It also provides a soft joystick as in mobile games to ease the operation of the wheelchairs. Furthermore, sensors that are fixed in the wheelchair can detect and avoid obstacles when the chair is on the move. Hence, it ensures the safety while using the wheelchairs. The proposed application will help both physically challenged persons and elders to operate the wheelchairs more comfortably.


Paper describes a smart, key and a motor controlled wheel chair. This is been designed for the disabled persons and aged ones. It is a “Key-controlled Wheel chair” that follows the commands given. The commands are given by a smart phone which has Bluetooth and the command is transmitted to the Line follower Arduino board. For example, when the user gives command like “Go to room number 2‟ then chair will move in forward direction then goes to room number 2 and likewise, when the user gives command like “Go to Back position‟ it moves towards back likewise “Left‟, “Right” and “Stop‟ for making the wheelchair to stop. This is designed for saving the cost, time and energy of the disabled persons. IR sensors are used and they help in detecting the obstacles in the passage.

<p>This paper deals with the design of a battery operated Mobile Robot and development of various modes of its control. The Mobile Robot can be operated in three different modes, namely Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF), Radio Frequency (RF) and ZigBee thereby enabling a multi- dimensional control system. The Mobile Robot is a single seated carrier. It can also be used to transport substantial amount of physical load for short distances. It is a prototype of a multi-use robot having a wide range of applicability according to the requirement after suitable modifications. Thus it can be easily applied inside a hospital to carry patients, as a wheel chair for physically challenged people, to carry goods in large shopping malls, as golf cars, can also be used for industrial purposes with adequate modifications. It can also be used as cleaning machine at railway stations, airports, museums, large halls. It uses a DC power source and not any conventional energy sources. Hence it is ecofriendly and this Mobile Robot can be termed as an advancing step in the field of battery operated vehicles.</p>

<p>Great people like Stephen Hawking and Max Brito have been suffering from this crippling phenomenon. Our project is an attempt to make lives of the physically challenged people by our extravagant project. We mean self-reliant, which will thereby reinstate their confidence and their happiness. The idea is to create an Eye Monitored System which allows movement of the patient‟s wheelchair depending on the eye movements. We know that a person suffering from quadriplegia can partially move his eyes and tilt his head, thus presenting an opportunity for detecting those movements. We have created a device where a patient sitting on the Wheel Chair assembly looking directly at the camera, is able to move in a direction just by looking in that direction. The camera signals are monitored by a MATLAB script, which will then guide the motors wired to the AtMega1284P Microcontroller over the Serial Interface to move in a particular direction. The system is cost effective and thus can be used by patients spread over a large economy range. We have implement a Smart mobile application to paramount our project and thereby we justify our project name “The Smart Mobility For Physically Challenged”</p>

The vehicle is designed by taking into consideration of the physically challenged people especially the paraplegic patients. These people are living in our vicinity with paralyzed legs, their mode of transport from one place to another is through the wheel chairs. The normal wheel chair has to be operated manually with more man power, this eventually makes tiresome for people to cover long distances, in order to overcome such hardships faced by those people artificial intelligent wheel chair is proposed work. The vehicle is being controlled by the analog sensors fitted in the patient’s hand. The device used here is an accelerometer MPU 6050 sensor. The arduino nano board and arduino uno board is acting as an interface between the accelerometer and RF transmitter, DC gear motor and the RF receiver respectively. Coding is developed be the principles of accelerometer in x, y and z directions. The vehicle moves in all four direction according to the gesture of the patient. On the whole the vehicle is patient friendly and cost efficient.
