Head Motion Operated Wheelchair
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this present study is to design a wheelchair with sensor communicator system that could operate the wheelchair with the help of head movement. The targeted people for this study are handicapped person and quadriplegic and disabled person as this could be operated easily through head motion sense. Present study also focuses on reducing the overall cost to make it economically available. This system could be used by physically disable persons who cannot move their hands or legs but are able to make head movement. This wheelchair could be operated in any direction using head tilt movements by the handicapped person. Design and development of head motion controlled wheelchair can be achieved by using different kind of sensors and communicator modules along with mechanical component such as high torque DC motor. The system is feasible and works well with a person sitting on it. KeywordsQuadriplegic, Wheelchair, DC Motor, Paraplegic, Head motion, SMPS

متن کاملDesign and Modification of One Arm Driven Manual Hemiplegic Wheelchair
This paper presents design modification to the existing standard wheelchair by incorporating an improved propulsion system and also braking and tilting systems that allow its full control with only one hand. The proposed design has the propulsion system with a chain drive powered through a four-bar linkage driven by the main handle. The desired direction of motion is obtained by moving the leve...
متن کاملWheelchair Control by Head Motion
Electric wheelchairs are designed to aid paraplegics. Unfortunately, these can not be used by persons with higher degree of impairment, such as quadriplegics, i.e. persons that, due to age or illness, can not move any of the body parts, except of the head. Medical devices designed to help them are very complicated, rare and expensive. In this paper a microcontroller system that enables standard...
متن کاملOn Climbing Winding Stairs for a Robotic Wheelchair
In this paper motion analysis on a winding stair-climbing is investigated using our proposed rotational arm type of robotic wheelchair. For now, the robotic wheelchair is operated in an open mode to climb winding stairs by a dynamic turning, therefore, the dynamics model is required to ensure a passenger’s safety. Equations of motion based on the skid-steering analysis are developed for the tra...
متن کاملHuman-friendly interfaces of wheelchair robotic system for handicapped persons
Abstract With an increase in the number of handicapped persons, there is a growing demand for human-friendly interface as mobility aids. To meet this need, we have developed two interfaces with using shoulder and head motion for powered wheelchair control. To acquire proper wheelchair control instruction signal, workspaces of shoulder and head are analyzed by magnetic position sensor. Two inter...
