This project proposes control of Electric Wheelchairs by using smartphones to help the movement of the disabled and the elderly become easier. Although the use of manual wheelchairs can meet the needs of some individuals there are also some who have problems using these manual wheelchairs due to some factor such as permanent disability in the hands and in the case of senior citizens, the lack of energy to move the wheelchair manually. As we all know, mobile phones are a necessity nowadays, with almost everyone having them. By combining smartphone and Bluetooth technology, this manual wheelchair can be converted to Electric wheelchair that can be controlled wirelessly using a smartphone and therefore solve the problem mentioned above since it is easy to move the wheelchair around without requiring too much energy. This project uses an Arduino as the main controller to control the DC motor that is attached to the wheelchair. Several versions of smartphone apps have been developed to make sure it’s achieved its objective. In conclusion, this project will be able to help those in need to move more easily and independently.
