Low Cost Robotic Wheel Chair for Disabled People in Developing Countries
- Abstract
There is a need of a mean of locomotion for people with walking disabilities. While many problems can be answered by crutches but there are some cases where crutches might not be able to resolve the problem completely. The answer is the wheel chair. In today’s time, with the advancement in technology, the design and motion of the wheel chairs has significantly improved. Today these can be operated using microcontrollers which eliminates the need of human effort. But the cost factor is important as using such technologies may lead to a significant increase in the cost of the equipment. Financial aspects play a crucial role in hampering the spread and widespread usage of such costly equipment especially in developing countries like India. This research paper aims at developing a low cost wheel chair model controlled using a microcontroller.
