| Summary: | The degradation of mobility is an important concern that affects the independent living ability of physically Challenged people. Therefore, mobility assistive devices require improvements to uplift the living standards of the people. This paper sets out a design of a smart wheelchair using an embedded system. This paper sets out a design and development of a smart wheelchair using an embedded system. The proposed design of the wheelchair can be controlled through bluetooth which enables the user to control the wheelchair with less effort. Touch commands are deployed to the system in addition to the virtual joystick-controlling interface to enhance the interaction with the user. This aids the disabled in carrying out daily activities independently within indoor environments. Experiments are conducted to verify the functionality of the developed smart wheelchair. |
