| Abstract | Wheelchairs are widely used by many users due to various reasons. Some may use the wheelchair for temporary reasons while others may have to spend their whole life in the wheelchair. With the advancement of the technology most of our daily life aspects has become autonomous. Using an android phone to control a wheelchair is a subject where many researchers have not considered yet. In this project I use the android phone to control the basic motions such as moving forward, reverse, turning left, turning right, stop and speed controlling. To establish the connection between phone and the wheelchair an IOIO-Q board is used along with two DC motor drivers. A prototype of a wheelchair is built using Aluminum L bars and plates. The main objective of this project is to apply mechanical, electronically and programming knowledge and in a practical aspect of engineering |
