Hand Gesture

Controlled Wheel Chair

Mini project
 Abstract

 This project is to develop a wheel chair for physically disabled peo-

ple.
 The wheel chair is controlled by hand movement/hand gestures.
 The gestures are recognized by a Gyro Accelerometer.
 The signals from the accelerometer are processed and the wheel chair
is controlled by the Atmega-328 micro controller.

 INTRODUCTION AND MOTIVATION
 Wheel chair is the best assistive device used by the elder and disabled
people.
 The driving and controlling of traditional wheel chair are much harder
task.
 Our aim is to build a low-cost and powerful wheel chair that helps
handicapped people to travel without depending on others.
 Introducing a prototype of a cost-efficient electronic gesture-based
wheel chair.
 Easy to operate, because this wheel chair can be operated even by a
user without a palm.

 Arduino UNO
 Arduino UNO is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega-328
 It has:
• 14 digital input/output pins(of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs)
• 6 Analog inputs
• A 16 MHz crystal oscillator
• A USB connection, a power jack
• A reset button

 Arduino IDE
 Open-source Arduino Software (IDE) that makes it easy to write
code and upload it to the board.
 It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
 It is a cross-platform application written in Java.
 It includes a code editor with features such as syntax highlighting,
brace matching, and automatic indentation.
 It provides a simple one-click mechanism for compiling and loading
programs into an Arduino board.
 Gyro Accelerometer

 MPU6050 Gyro Accelerometer is used to recognize hand gestures.

 It consists of a three-axis accelerometer and a three-axis gyroscope.

 It produces different numerical values corresponding to the direction

of acceleration.

 RF Module
 NRF24L01 is a wireless transceiver module (works on SPI Protocol),
which is used for sending and receiving data at an operating radio
frequency of 2.4 to 2.5 GHz ISM band.
 This module is designed for long-distance and fast transmission of
data.
 This module is compact and can easily be used in confined spaces.
 This module is designed to operate at 3.3 volts.

 Motor Driver and DC Motor
 An L298 Motor Driver IC is a monolithic chip, used in motor driver
modules to control the speed of a DC Motor. 
 L298 IC includes four separate power amplifiers.
 The features and specifications of L298 IC are:
• Total DC is up to 4A.
• The operating voltage supply is up to 46 v.
• Power dissipation is 25w.
• The saturation voltage is less.

 FUTURE SCOPE
 Automated wheel chair can be operated by a wireless remote which
can reduce the wiring arrangement.
 Instead of using acceleration motion we can use the eye retina using
an optical sensor to move wheel chair accordingly.
 We can use voice command ICs to interface our voice signal with the
microcontroller.
 This system can be extended by including GSM which sends an SMS
during an emergency.
 Research is going on the development of handicapped wheel chair
using the nervous system of humans.
 CONCLUSION

 Automated wheel chair can be used to help handicapped people, espe-

cially those who are not able to move.
