Now a days, physically disabled persons don’t have much access to daily life activities as they face so many difficulties. They have difficulty in accessing manual wheelchair. There is also electric wheelchair with joystick which is costly and has less features. So, we have developed a cost-effective smart wheelchair which has more features and it will be beneficial in many aspects to the disabled persons. The main feature of this wheelchair is that it will be controlled using hand gesture for the movement of the wheelchair. The battery which is used in this wheelchair will be charged using solar panel when possible, and it can be charged using AC supply also. There is obstacle detection system using ultrasonic sensor which will help the person from colliding with any obstacle in case of wrong direction he or she is approaching. There are some SMD LED lights attached to the wheelchair which can be turned on if the surrounding has not enough light. If the disabled person is in any emergency situation or in any difficulty, he can send alarm to the caretaker or nearer person or relatives so that the person can be attended as soon as possible.
