Project Summary

Aging is a multifactorial procedure prompting changes in skeletal muscle amount and quality, which cause muscle shortcoming and inability in the maturing populace. Crushing pain in legs and moving toes disorder is a particular clinical substance and in lion's share of the patients there are some fundamental causes related spinal cord, cauda equina, or fringe neuropathy. Statistics demonstrate that Spinal cord damage influences 30% to 60% individuals in 1 million. Every year 27.9% have all out paraplegia, and 18.5% have all out tetraplegia. The rate of muscle misfortune has been built up to range from 1 to 2 % every year past the age of 50 years, because of which 25 % of individuals younger than 70 years and 40 % of those beyond 80 years old years are Sarcopenic [?] .To make them free, we are proposing a framework for wheelchair which moves toward the path following to voice order.

To perform capacities an incapacitated individual with train inabilities needs a wheelchair that require him or her to move around freely. He/She can do as such physically by pushing the wheelchair with his/her hands. Anyway, a significant number of us have frail upper appendages or locate the manual method of working excessively tiring. In this manner it is attractive to give them with a mechanized wheelchair which is constrained by moving a voice directions. The principle point of this venture is to encourage the development of the handicapped and older individuals who can't move legitimately so with this we can empower them to have better existences with no such issues. Speech recognition is a key innovation which can give human collaboration with machines for controlling a wheelchair.

Not only voice commands but also a joystick is provided with wheelchair which helps the patient to move independently. Sometimes patient has some throat problem or he has some issue with his neck and not able to speak that’s why a joystick is provided which can move wheelchair freely in all direction automatically without any hard effort.

In Pakistan energy is a big issue. The wheelchair we have proposed has solar tracking plates. Sunlight based energy is spotless and accessible in wealth. Sunlight based advancements utilize the sun for arrangement of warmth, light and power. The vitality capability of the sun is gigantic.When it comes to the development of any nation, energy is the main driving factor.Solar panels directly convert radiation from the sun into electrical energy. The level to which the efficiency is improved will depend on the efficiency of the tracking system and the weather. Very efficient trackers will offer more efficiency because they are able to track the sun with more precision.

We proposed GPS based navigational aid services. GPS, or worldwide situating framework, is a satellite-based route framework.Anybody with a GPS collector can utilize it free of cost. The framework works much like radio route.

Project Objectives

The objectives of this project are :

• Identify suitable general wheel chair for the usage of handicap people.
• Redesign the wheelchair by adjusting solar tracking plates for charging the battery 
• Implement and program voice recognition kit for disabled person.
• Interface joystick with hardware for better performance.
• Attach Android/IOS installed devices for navigational aid.

Project Implementation Method

Following are the stages for implementation of the Project:

• Comprehensive study of Wheelchair components, Voice recognition module, Solar tracking plates and Android/IOS Navigational applications.
• A proposed algorithm for voice recognition module . 
• Testing of module using Arduino and DC motors.
• Modelling, simulation, and prototyping
• Working on the Solar tracking plates and algorithm to detect automatically sun maximum intensity angle.
• Interface DC motors and 7 Ampere Dry cell rechargeable battery with Wheelchair.
• Joystick  module for alternating commanding source.
• Attach Android /IOS device with installed version of real time navigational application.
• Interface all parts i.e. voice recognition module, solar tracking plates and Android/IOS Navigational applications with wheelchair.
• Customization of wheelchair includes extra space for rleaxing of back body, spacious drawers for day to day vitely used things, emergency medicine drawer, torch light for night travelling, High visibility backview to avoid accidents, handfrees, mobile charging port, tablet charging port.
• Documentation for all the work of the Project

Benefits of the Project

The benifits of the projects are as follows:

• It provides mobility of freedom to move you anywhere around.
• It provides independence from tiredness of moving wheelchair from arms.
• It provides comfort and support for your back
• Smart wheelchair increases your socializing, a new sense of freedom that help you to enjoy lifestyle as a healthier person.
• It provides dual charging sources i.e Automatic Solar tracking plates and direct AC main via charger which enables its feature of  less power consumption.
• It is cost-effective. Comparing to other smart wheelchair in market whose price starts from $1200 - $3000. We provide it in just $500-$600.
• It helps you enroute to your shortest and easiest path using navigational source. This feature helps you to less power consumption as well as save your time.
• Voice recognition module helps you to move wheelchair with voice command and reduce your effort and tiredness from moving wheelchair with arms.
• It is provided with dual commanding source i.e voice recognition module and joystick to avoid any inconvenience.  
• It connect your loved one's while on the go through twitter, facebook and liveaudio/ video streaming.
• It provides you extra space for keeping your day to day gadgets, such as handsfree, tablet charger, mobile charger, emergency medicines , notebook, pencile, glasses ,etc.
• It will provide shadow to protect user from the rain and sunshine.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Technical Details of Final Deliverable will be a wheel chair which includes following hardware:

• Voice module for movement of wheelchair.
• Solar plates for charging purpose.
• Joystick for alternating commanding source.
• Mounting of Android/IOS based navigational device. 
• Rechargeable Powere battery.
• DC motor for wheel chair motion.
• Servo motar for rotation of solar plates.
• Customization drawer's and cabinets.
• Final Project Report.
