INTRODUCTION

Voice Controlled Wheel chair is a mobile robot whose

motions can be controlled by the user by giving specific
voice commands.

The speech recognition software running on a PC is

capable of identifying the 5 voice commands Run, Stop,
Left, Right and Back issued by a particular user.

Functions :
Processes data
Provides control voltages to motor.

RF 434MHz Tx-Rx
This transmitter Transmit and receive the signal at 434
MHz frequency.
This radio frequency (RF) transmission system
employs Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK) with
transmitter/receiver (Tx/Rx) pair operating at 434 MHz
The transmitter module takes serial input and transmits
these signals through RF.
The transmitted signals are received by the receiver
module placed away from the source of transmission.

Key features of RF 434MHz Tx-Rx :

Lost

cost 433.92MHz receiver module

Low working voltage.
Low current 5.7mA.
High sensitive -116dBm.

MOTOR DRIVER
H-BRIDGE:

H bridge circuit is use for controlling the DC motors.

10

Working of H-BRIDGE

The H-bridge arrangement is generally used to reverse the

polarity of the motor.

It can also be used to 'brake' the motor, where the motor

comes to a sudden stop, as the motor's terminals are
shorted.

It also let the motor 'free run' to a stop, as the motor is

effectively disconnected from the circuit.

DC MOTORS

An electric motor converts electrical energy into

mechanical motion.
DC motors drives the wheels of
wheel chair.

13

Working of DC motor :

14

Contd
The different direction of motions possible is:
Forward: Both the motors in forward direction
Reverse: Both the motors in the reverse direction
Left: Left motor stopped/Right motor in the forward
direction
Right: Right motor stopped/Left motor in the forward
direction
In turn: The motors are in the opposite direction

15

RELAY
Relays

are remote control electrical switches that are

controlled by another switch, such as a horn switch or a
computer as in a power train control module.

Relays

allow a small current flow circuit to control a

higher current circuit.

Relays

are either Normally Open or Normally Closed.

16

NORMALLY OPEN RELAYS :

Normally

open relays have a switch that remains open

until energized (ON).

In

energized ON, current flowing through the control

circuit coil (pins 1 and 3) creates a small magnetic field
which causes the switch to close, pins 2 and 4.

The

switch, which is part of the load circuit, is used to

control an electrical circuit that may connect to it.

Current

now flows through pins 2 and 4 shown

in RED, when the relay in energized.
17

NORMALLY CLOSED RELAYS:

When

the relay control coil is NOT energized, the relay

switch contacts are closed, completing the circuit
through pins 2 and 4.

When

the control coil is energized, the relay switch

contacts opens, which breaks the circuit open and no
continuity exists between pins 2 and 4.

Normally Open (NO)

Normally Closed (NC)

18

VISUAL BASIC FOR SPEECH RECOGNITION:

A speech recognition application is used through VB

for recognizing a voice command and performing
the required operation.

Visual Basic (VB) is a third-generation event

driven programming language and associated
development environment from Microsoft and its
programming model.

Visual Basic was derived from BASIC and enables

the rapid application development (RAD) of
graphical user interface (GUI) applications.
19

Contd

Visual basic provides an important Microsoft

speech to text converting tool.

This tool plays the most important role in

converting a users speech command into
text and send respective signal to the
microcontroller to perform the required
operation.

CONCLUSION
The

goal of this project was to develop a speech

controlled wheelchair application for the handicapped and
physically paralyzed patients.

The

goals were fulfilled with quite good results.

In

this case Visual Basic was used, a programming

language that is easy to learn and use but yet powerful
enough to make wheelchair control systems.

Still

much of the performance results depend on the

speech recognition programming, which hopefully will
improve further.
