ABSTRACT
It is well known that the lower part of the human body plays an important role in mobility. But there are people who suffer from certain disorders which affect their lower part by birth or by some unfavorable situations. Keeping that in mind this project aims at creating a wheel chair that can aid those people for their movements very easily.

OBJECTIVE & NEED OF THE PAPER

y Demand of independence of disabled people y Improved medical services y Get people out into fresh air and help work with whatever they

could do in the fields

EXISTING SYSTEM
Sanders Slot et-al (1994)- joystick controlled wheel chair

Fezari M et-al (2005) - wheel chair that has a speech recognition system and sensor Jia. P et-al (2005) proposed a intelligent Wheel Chair which was controlled by head gesture

AIM OF THE PROJECT

The aim of the project is to provide a means for operating the wheel chair with minimal effort. In this project Only slight finger movements are needed. This greatly minimizes the physical effort needed to operate the wheel chair. People with partial paralysis, dumb people can also make use of this wheel chair model effectively.

MICROCONTROLLER
A microcontroller (sometimes abbreviated C, uC or MCU) is a small computer on a single integrated circuit

Contains a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals.

DEFINITION OF PIC
A PIC microcontroller is a processor with built in memory and RAM and you can use it to control projects (or build projects around it). It saves building a circuit that has separate external RAM, ROM and peripheral chips. It has many build in module such as COMPARATOR ANDTIMER EEPROM,ANALOG

FEATURES OF PIC
y A PIC microcontroller is an amazingly powerful fully featured processor with internal
RAM, EEPROM FLASH memory and peripherals One of the smallest ones occupies the space of a 555 timer

14KB of program memory, 368 bytes of RAM, a 40 pin package,

Advantages
y This type of Wheel chair can be used by physically disabled people,

aged people with minimal effort.

y Dumb people can use this type of wheel chair. y Only slight finger movement is enough to operate the chair. y The sensor can be fixed in finger ,palm, hand and etc.,

Result & Discussion

Thus the sensor MMA1260D senses the finger movements and

accordingly the wheelchair movement is controlled.

y For various finger positions (up, down, side) different voltage values

are produced.
y These voltage values are then fed to the microcontroller to control

the wheelchair.

Conclusion and Future Work

Thus this wheel chair can help people in their movement with minimal efforts. This project can be further enhanced by adopting an obstacle detection system using ultrasonic sensors and a speaker system so that the speaker system can indicate the direction of the movement as well as the obstacles in the pathway. To implement this project for real time applications motors capable of driving more weights should be used.
