Abstract

Persons suffering from physical disabilities often experience difficulties in moving around independently in their daily activities. In order to address this issue, a smart wheelchair system based on an embedded system using voice command control, obstacle detection, GPS tracking, and solar charging has been proposed in this project. The system will be controlled using voice commands such as forward, backward, left, and right, which will be detected by a voice recognition system. The detected voice commands will be processed by an embedded system. In order to prevent accidents, ultrasonic sensors will be used to detect obstacles in the path of the wheelchair. The wheelchair will be stopped or changed direction according to the detected obstacles. In addition, a GPS tracker will be used in order to obtain the real-time position of the wheelchair. This will be very helpful in tracking the position of the disabled person. A solar panel will be used in order to charge the battery of the system. This will reduce the need for external power supply and will be environmentally friendly.

KEYWORDS:
