Robot for the physically challenged

Abstract

In the past decade, robotic applications in human life have made significant progress. However, mobility of robots and user convenience of their control is still a challenge. Utility of robots for a physically challenged person, with practicality and ease of operation, is another issue. In this paper, a robotic solution is proposed for utilization by the physically challenged. A prototype robot is developed using RF signals, with voice control or remote control options. The human voice/remote controlled robot, has obstacle avoidance and edge avoidance features as well. The prototype is useful for applications in diverse fields.
