Project Summary

Hand Gesture Wheelchair (HGW) is a robot, which is useful for the physically challenged people. With the help of wireless communication, it is easier to interact with the robot in a more-friendly way, because human hand gestures are natural. According to the movement of person’s hand wheelchair will move. Arduino Lilypad used for reading the movement of hand. Accelerometer is based on 3-axis and wheelchair moves in four direction right, left, forward and backward. Physically challenged people using their wheelchair with the help of other persons or move the wheel with a force of hands. It produce much pressure and strain. The main goal of this project is to provide the facilities and reducing human efforts. Assemble the robot able to understand the human body language.

Project Objectives

1) Everybody wants to live independent but physically disable peoples are may not be independent. They are dependent on other person. If the wheelchair is not near to handicap person then it’s difficult for the handicap person to reach near the wheelchair.

2) During the time where technology is developed by using environmental awareness, users are locking for those products which are useful. HGW is helpful for the user. By the use of HGW handicap person doesn’t need any kind of help.

3) This project provides a design method of HGW. The task of HGW is to move on the movement of hand gestures. The HGW will detect and avoid obstacle by its self. This task is possible by using Ultrasonic sensor which detects any object coming across their line and give signal to controller. This report will provide an understanding the sensor selection process, an analysis of controller and study of relevant motor used.

4) Reduce human efforts by introducing advance technology methohds.

5) Help handicap persons that are unable to move.

Project Implementation Method

Our system divided in two sections.

1) Hardware

2) Software  

Robot is a machine which is programmable by a computer and it capable of doing different series tasks automatically. It can be autonomous or semi-autonomous. It can be guided by an outside control source or can be control embedded system within. It is made for take care of human matter how they look.

The branch of innovation which deals the design, development, operation, application, sensors, controlling system as well as interface with computer and information processing is called Robotics.

1) Transmitted Section.

Hand Gesture Controlled|(Wheelchair) is combined with Arduino Lilypad and Arduino Mega. Firstly Arduino Lilypad generates signal with accelerometer and pass through to Encoder. Encoder encode the signals and pass through to RF transmitter.

2) Receiving Section.

In receiver side, RF receiver receive the signals which is send by RF transmitter. After receiving the signals Decoder decode the signals and pass through to Arduino Mega to perform the certain action accordingly to gestures of hand.

Benefits of the Project

The overall aim of the project is to make the robot capable of understanding human body language, however limited, thereby bridging the gap between machine and human. Our objective is to also make this device simple as well as cheap so that it could be mass produced and can be used for a number of purposes like enabling an individual confined to a wheelchair to be able to move about freely without the stress of pushing the wheel or requiring assistance from someone else to using gestures to control home appliances.
