Wheelchair Assistance and Guidance Using IOT

Abstract

A Smart Wheelchair is a Power Wheelchair with numerous sensors, assistive technology, and computers built in that allow a disabled person to travel around freely and safely. People with disabilities, such as impairments, handicaps, and life-altering injuries, are the users. The conventional wheelchairs are being increasingly replaced by these new models. Only 5 to 15% of the 70 million disabled individuals worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), have access to wheelchairs. As a result, we must supply a cost-effective Smart that uses cutting-edge components and technology while keeping costs to a minimum. They have embraced a number of technologies, including artificial intelligence, where they created an autonomous wheelchair that used machine learning principles to travel. Some of them have also used the Internet of Things to manage the wheelchair using a voice recognition system. This report will outline an inexpensive Smart Wheelchair-based Arduino Nano microcontroller and Internet of Things (IoT) technology that has a number of features to help disabled people, particularly poor people who cannot afford an expensive Smart Wheelchair, get the assistance they need to complete daily tasks without help. As a result of this project, a variety of disabled people will be able to afford smart wheelchairs. It will be powered by Arduino Nano, ESP-12e module for Wi-Fi access, MPU6050 for fall detection with voice message notification using IFTTT platform, obstacle detection with buzzer and LED for hazard detection, voice recognition system, and joysticks for wheelchair control.
