HAND GESTURE CONTROL WHEEL CHAIR USING MEMS

ACCELEROMETER

ABSTRACT

The use of robotics is increasing day by day to replace the manpower for many reasons and
uses with high navigational intelligence is one of the great steps towards the integration of
severely physically disabled and mentally handicapped people. The Robot is being developed
to overcome the problems, allowing the end-user to just perform safe movements and
accomplish some daily life important tasks.

In existing system, the wheel chair is operated manually and without proper safety
locking and indications, to overcome all those problems an independent wheel chair that has
movement with electric motors is to be designed and fabricated.

The project uses MPU-6050 gyro sensor which will give the X, Y and Z movements of hand,
this gyro is interfaced with arduino Uno board for further processing like motors movement
control.

First the user is seated in wheel chair and will switch on the enable button then automatically
seat belt will be locked after 5 seconds and wheel movements are in active mode. Based on
the hand movement tilts, the wheel chair will turn in that direction, in this process of if any
obstacle comes in front of the wheel chair then it automatically stops.
To lock the seat belt automatically the project is assembled with servo 90G. Wheel chair has
two DC motors with motor driver L293D interfaced to arduino Uno for driving the motors.
The entire wheel chair runs on 12V battery.
