INTELLIGENT VOICE AND GESTURE CONTROLLED WHEELCHAIR

During the last several decades,there have been revolutionary advances in power wheelchairs. These unique wheelchair systems are designed 
for the physically immobile patient. Many have tried to come up with the elusive next generation wheelchair design concept only to fall back 
on existing conventional materials and technology. All agree a new technological advancement is the most likely key needed to bring that 
breakthrough next generation design to life.

The aim of this project is to design and build a smart wheelchair which would be controlled by hand motion based gesture interfaces as well as voice commands . The result of this project will facilitate the movement of people who are disabled or handicapped. It can be used efficiently 
with less effort by these people so that they can use it independently and easily.

All the students which are physically immobile will be benefited with this project. This project will bring an ease of comfort while moving 
from a place to another as well as the electric powered wheelchair mechanism will reduce the work load and stress in the hands of the 
physically immobile patients. The Voice controlled system and the Gesture controlled system will provide options as how the patient needs 
to drive the wheelchair. This wheelchair project is appropriate if a patient unable to propel a manual wheelchair or if you need to reduce the 
strain on your shoulders and arms so you can continue to migrate with ease.
