Touch screen based wireless multifunctional wheelchair using ARM and PIC microcontroller

摘要

Smart robotic wheelchair has a great significance in life of a disabled person. With several merits, a wheelchair becomes a dilemma for a disabled person when comes to self-propulsion. This project describes an economical solution of robot control systems. The presented wheelchair control system can be used for different sophisticated robotic applications. The automatic robotic wheelchair comprises of the features like sensing hindrances and circuitry to avoid colliding to obstacle and emergency calling. Implementing embedded systems solution on self-propelled wheelchair enhances upgradability. This paper briefs a multifunctional wheelchair for disabled mob using, touch screen, ultrasonic sensor and GSM system interfaced through microcontroller which ultimately abolishes switching technology and thus optimizing hardware cost.
