 Introduction
 Choose between either using your manual chair as standard, or
attach the Smart handle to go further and faste.
 Transform your wheelchair into a sporty vehicle in just a
few simple steps.
 Long or short journeys, the elegant lithium-ion battery pack gives
maximum flexibility with more range – up to 50km!.
 Smart handle also allows you to make everyday obstacles with the
strong, efficient front wheel and powerful drive.
 It is a mechatronics vehicle which control the wheel chair to move
forward, left and right by the voice of the person and reuse the power
to the battery with the help of capacitor.

Abstract
 Smart Wheel Chair is mechanically controlled
devices designed to have selfmobility with the
help of the user command.
 This reduces the user’s human effort and force to
drive the wheels for wheelchair .
 Further more it also provides an opportunity for
visually or physically impaired persons to move
from one place to another.
 Different types of smart wheelchair have been
developed in the past but the new generations of
wheelchairs are being developed

 Literature review
 CHARHM CDTA, Algeria (1996)
Chair navigates autonomously to location in
environment based on internal map and
information from machine vision.
 Automated-Guided Wheelchair NEC
Corporation, Japan (1992)
Follows tracks laid out with magnetic ferrite
marker tape. Uses IR sensors to stop when
obstacles detected in its path.
 Autonomous Wheelchair Arizona State
University, U.S.(1986)
Uses machine vision to identify landmarks and
center wheelchair in hallway.

 Literature review
 COACH French Atomic Energy
Commission, France (1993)
Provides obstacle avoidance and follows walls.
Unclear how active operating mode is chosen.
 National University of Singapore,
Singapore (2002)
Uses dead reckoning to keep wheelchair on
prescribed path. User can leave path to avoid
obstacles, and controls speed of wheelchair.
Path can be defined with GUI or by
walkthrough.
 Yonsei University, Korea
(2002-2003)
Uses machine vision to identify facial gestures
from user. Can also receive input from EMG (on
neck) or voice commands.

Methodology
Arduino Mega 2560
 It is a microcontroller board based on
the ATmega 2560 .

 It has 54 digital input/outputs pins,

16 analog input, 4 UARTs , a 16
MHz crystal oscillator, a USB
connection , a power jack , an IC SP
header , and a reset button.
• .

 The Arduino can be programmed

with the Arduino software, according
to requirement it will be programmed.

 Methodology
Speed controller
 An electronic speed control or ESC is an
electronic circuit with the purpose to vary
an servo-motor's speed,
 Its direction and possibly also to act as a
dynamic brake.
 ESCs are often used on motors essentially
providing an electronically-generated
three-phase electric power low voltage
source of energy for the motor.
Voice Sensor
 An ADC translates the analog waves of
your voice into digital data by sampling
the sound.
 To convert speech to on-screen text or a
computer command, a computer has to go
through several complex steps.

 Working principle
DC MOTOR
 Working Principle of DC Motor. An Electric
DC motor is a machine which converts
electric energy into mechanical energy.
 The working of DC motor is based on the
principle that when a current-carrying
conductor is placed in a magnetic field,
 It experiences a mechanical force.

THROTTLE TWIST GRID

 Your electric bicycle’s throttle is the
physical connection between you and your
wheelchair.
 Through just a few square centimeters of
surface area, a magical bond is formed
between man and machine
Dept.of Mechanical Engg .KNSIT Bangaluru
Components Required
 Arduino Mega

 Throttle grid

 Voice senso

 Dc motor

 Wheel

 24V Battery

 Motor drive IC L298N

 Advantages
 A physically challenged person without legs can use
this and become independent.
 Less Hardware require i.e. Compact.
 Economical .
 Reduce manpower .
 User friendly .
 No pollution .
