Abstract
An area of bodily challenged people makes it very hard to use traditional wheelchairs. To move patients or physically disabled people from one place to another either in hospital or in day to day life, wheelchairs are used. Wheel chairs are designed such that they could be used either with the help of attendee or it can be self-propelling. To lessen the complexities for people who do not have power to move the wheelchair, it is automated. Accelerometer is used to control the wheelchair using head movements. Ultrasonic sensors are used to discover obstacles, joystick is used to provide input through hand, and Bluetooth module is used to interface smartphone to give the voice command. The special modes can be chosen in keeping with the requirement the use of a switch. It is a low cost machine which has unique methods incorporated to manipulate the wheelchair.
