Wheelchairs are a way of reincarnating the purpose of life in the lives of disabled people. Instead of using joystick controlled wheelchair, the wheelchair can be embed a with instrumented glove along with voice recognition system. In this we designed a cost-effective wheelchair for the person who having major disabilities. The user wearing an instrumented glove embedded with flex sensor for controlling the movement and direction of the wheelchair and can also give voice instructions to by using smart phone or an tablet installed in wheel chair which take instructions and pass it to embedded control of wheel chair. RF wireless communication exists between the glove and controller which is sandwiched between user seat and wheels. We include an obstacle sensor it performs that if any object is detected in the path, it will halt the operation. Therefore the wheelchair comes to be in standstill. . In addition to this we have introduced navigation map which will guide the user for direction along with an alarm button which on pressed in emergency will send SMS to the person’s relatives about persons present location via GSM and GPRS system. With this wheel chair person can have a complete and safe journey.
