Abstract

This paper presents the Design And Development of a Hand - glove controlled wheel chair based on MEMS. This paper purpose of life in the lives of disabled people based on MEMS, The aim at incorporating the modern ways of wheel chair dynamics and control and at the same time making it cost effective, so that it is affordable to the common masses. The goal of this research is to develop a wheelchair system whi ch controls its movement by the merely bending of a person’s fingers. In this research a prototype of an affordable and technologically advanced wheelchair is to be designed and developed. The proposed prototype will be communicating wirelessly between the controller and the plant and it will also replace the traditional joystick by the implementation of user hand glove control based on MEMS. The MEMS sensors inside the glove can sense the movement of fingers. The controller sends the signals to the receiver section which is placed under the wheelchair through a wireless technology. In The receiver section get the signals from the transmitter according to the signals the motor is running which changes the wheel movement. The technologies presented in this paper suggest a wide domain of possibilities to a wide variety of users. In addi tion, it also aims at making a hi - tech wheelchairs are made and so that control the security problem with Alarm and cost effective by people Disabilities.
