Smart Wheelchair Based On Gesture Control Using Raspberry Pi and IOT

This research paper presents a low-cost hand gesture controlled automated wheelchair design using Raspberry Pi Pico based microcontroller. The main focus of this study is to enable individuals with limited mobility to control their wheelchairs through simple hand gestures. The wheelchair can also be controlled through Bluetooth technology, allowing for assistance in case of any issues with hand gesture control. The design also includes an emergency switching system that sends messages to an assisting person via a sensor-based network. It also provides other features like room automation, health checkup, etc. The proposed design using Raspberry Pi Pico is more affordable and provides a higher level of computational power compared to other automated wheelchair designs that rely on complex computing systems and processing of biological signals. This research has significant potential to improve the quality of life for individuals with limited mobility and may lead to the development of more advanced assistive technologies in the future. The hand gesture wheelchair can overcome any issues among machines and people
