Voice and Hand Controlled Wheelchair System

Abstract

No matter what the problem, the modern human being does not want to remain reliant. Because of their impairments, differently-abled people are unable to meet their own modest requirements. As a result, they don't get along well with others and want to avoid interacting with them as much as possible; however, this may be avoided if we provide them with the newest technology, such as a wheelchair. In the market, there are two types of wheelchairs: manual and electric-powered wheelchairs. The first kind is for those with disabilities in their lower limbs. Furthermore, the manual wheelchair's efficiency is just 10-20%. The goal of this project is to use a human voice and a joystick to drive a wheelchair. It enables a differently-abled person to move his body enough utilizing contemporary technology speech recognition application that is attached to motors to make movement as simple as possible, by employing voice control and identification technology that is coupled to motors. It allows a handicapped person who is deaf to travel from one location to another using his hand and a joystick. The wheelchair is based on computer software, as well as its ability to execute mathematical calculations and communicate with other electrical components. This wheelchair project is aimed at the low and middle classes, therefore if it becomes marketed, it will assist this group of people. We utilized an Arduino circuit that is connected to a speech recognition system. When a command is issued, the circuit sends out impulses to activate a motor and control the chair's movement.
