Mobile Controlled Wheelchair

Abstract

Scientists and socialists have worked very hard to help the elderly and the disabled to adopt methods that can help them interact with society and smooth their mobility during everyday activities, rather than be dependent on others, or on using the traditional tools, mainly the wheelchair. However, this technology has basic drawbacks since the disabled still are not able to reach the wheelchair if it is placed far from them. The aim of this project is to introduce an automated ambulation tool, entitled "Mobile Controlled Wheelchair" that helps the users to locate their wheelchairs' position and move it via specific android application to the desired destination. This application also provides the user with the ability to control the wheelchair even when sitting on it, moreover, the user can give orders to adjust the path. The encouraging results set a path for implementing this concept in more aid-systems.
