EMG BASED WHEEL CHAIR

Project Title

EMG BASED WHEEL CHAIR

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

This wheel chair will be operated by electromyography signals of the subject .Preferable Sensors will be used for signal acquisition. The complex signal processing which includes feature extraction and classification will be carried out on controller. Furthermore study and analysis  will decide how to interface with the respective controller

Project Objectives

• Signal Acquisition
• Filter + Amplification
• Feature Extraction and Classification
• Interfacing with controller
• Motor interfacing with controller
• Implementation on wheel chair

Project Implementation Method

First we will do signal acquisition from the muscles of our object using electrodes .The aquiried signal will then be processed , that includes amplification, pre amplication , noise removal .

Feature Extraction and Classification will be done using Matlab or any other suitable paltform.Then using respective microcontroller the signal will be  fed to motor drive circuit .The motor drive circuit will be designed and implemented after the wheel chair is re-engineered.

Benefits of the Project

 Pakistan has over 27 million disable people amongst which the most prominent ones are people with feet and leg disabilities. This project basically will eliminate dependency from their life. Various research projects are being conducted worldwide to tackle such disabilities. Brain computer interfacing (BCI) is most commonly used to encounter muscle disabilities and neural disabilities. This project will enable people suffering from different neural and muscle disabilities to move around with minimum efforts. After completing this project, it will open multiple door in the field of BCI and Neurorehabilitation for us and further research can be conducted targeting people with such disabilities

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

A wheelChair that will be operated upon extracted signal form the objects muscle and will move in the direction it is ordered too that will help the people with motor disabilities to move without any problem
