Abstract
In this era of fast growing medical and health facilities, there are some handicapped persons who are finding it difficult for day to day locomotion and they depend on others for help. But world becomes fast, everyone is very busy and there are only few to take care of these people properly. Driving a wheel chair in domestic environment is difficult task even for a normal person and becomes more difficult for people with arms, legs and hand impairments. We propose a system that will solve the difficulties faced by these individuals. This design detects the hand gesture given by the user and the gestures are recognized by ACCELEROMETER sensor. Then wheel chair is controlled by PIC MICROCONTROLLER. Our goal is to help the physically disabled people to lead the life effectively. This proposed design is also used in shopping malls where the customers use the shopping cart to purchase the items is automatically controlled by this system.
