 Project Title:  Smart wheelchair

Synopsis

A motorized wheelchair is also known as an electric wheelchair. Unlike the manual wheelchair, a motorized wheelchair is propelled by an electric motor. The idea of motorized was invested after World War II. They were invented to aid the mobility of seriously injured and physically impaired war veterans after the war. A smart wheelchair is an advancement of the ordinary motorized wheelchair. It is integrated with Artificial intelligence technology to make it better and comfortable than the ordinary electric wheelchair.

As a technological invention, a smart wheelchair is controlled mechanically with technological devices enhanced with Artificial intelligence to enable user’s easy mobility by just giving commands to the wheelchair (Tang et al., 2018). A smart wheelchair is designed and fitted with three important devices that enable them to take command from the users and act on those commands, thus facilitating a physically handicapped person’s self-mobility.

Objectives

To use visuals such as photographs, Animations, videos, and documentaries on the evolutions of wheelchairs from manual to the smart wheelchairs available today to illustrate how technology has been integrated with . A documentary on the evolution of wheelchairs titled “Smart Wheelchair evolution” will be using, and a 3D Visuals on the components, structure, and system of the smart wheelchair will be made.

Target Audience

This project targets college students (15-19 years), university undergraduates, and postgraduates (18-24 years) and (25-29 years), respectively.
