Abstract

A manual wheelchair is a standard wheelchair that can be self-propelled or pushed by others. However, it may present difficulties in certain scenarios, particularly for individuals with physical injuries or those living alone. The problem arises when users lose the ability to move around independently. This project aims to develop Wireless Control for Reftrofit Wheelchair System Using Arduino-base microcontroller with IoT. The android app are develop using Mit App Inventor platfrom. The wheelchair is equipped with two motor driver MD30C that control the DC motors attached to the wheels, which can be controlled via touch or voice commands on the smartphone. Additionally, the system allows wireless control of the household appliances and includes an IoT feature that enables users to remotely check whether the lights are on or off. Bluetooth communication is utilized between the smartphone and the arduino Uno . The smartphone interface offers two control options: voice commands and touch input. The wheelchair can be moved forward, backward, left, right, or stopped, and it features a proximity sensor to detect obstacles and automatically stop the wheelchair. Additionally, the inclusion of an IoT function allows for real-time monitoring of household appliances, enabling users to conveniently monitor and control their appliances remotely. The ability to wirelessly control appliances brings numerous benefits in terms of convenience and accessibility. In conclusion, this project empowers users with wireless control over their wheelchairs, enabling them to navigate their surroundings more effectively.
