Innovative Control System for Wheelchair Mobility: Hand Gestures and Automatic Braking

An innovative smart wheelchair system designed to enhance the mobility and safety of individuals with disabilities. The proposed system utilizes a combination of accelerometer, gyroscopes, and MPU6050 sensors to detect hand gestures, allowing users to control the wheelchair intuitively. Instead of the traditional joystick, a Node MCU sensor is employed for wireless data transmission, enabling seamless communication between the wheelchair and the user. Additionally, the system incorporates ultrasonic sensors for obstacle detection, triggering an automated braking system to ensure user safety. By integrating advanced sensor technology and automated braking, the proposed system offers a more efficient and secure means of wheelchair control, empowering individuals with limited mobility to navigate their surroundings with increased ease and confidence. The user-friendly and intuitive nature of the system makes it a valuable solution for improving the overall quality of life for those with disabilities
