The Automated Wheelchair assists the physically disabled person to operate the wheelchair automatically via joystick. The aim of this proposed system is to operate and drive the wheelchair using joystick and to avoid the obstacles automatically coming in its path. It allows the user to move and travel independently, with the help of joystick from where the motors are driven. The micro-controller is basically used in the proposed system due to its high efficiency features & synchronizing the data with different types of devices. The whole apparatus is carried out in an economical way and is cost effective such that it can overcome financial barriers and can be afforded by all. The design consists of following components Motor drivers, BLDC motors, Arduino uno, battery, battery charger, Joystick, Wheelchair, Jumper wires, IR Sensors, etc. Basically, we are using IR Sensor in order to avoid obstacles and accidents and a joystick in order to operate the wheelchair automatically and to reduce the daily labour work and dependency on others and to be independent.
