Smart Wheelchair : A Literature Review
Keywords:
Smart Wheelchair, Artificial Intelligence, Sensors, RoboticsAbstract
In today's world, there are many disabled persons who find it difficult to perform movements or perform daily activities. These types of persons are mainly dependent on others for their assistance. However, they can become self-independent and perform some daily activities on their own with the help of assistive devices. The most widely used assistive devices are Wheelchairs. Wheelchairs is basically a chair fitted with wheels, which can help people move around who cannot walk because of illness, disability or injury. But, there are many disabled people with weak limbs and joints who cannot move the wheelchair. Thus, Smart Wheelchair can benefit a lot to them and everyone in society. Smart Wheelchairs are electric powered wheelchairs with many extra components such as a computer and sensors, which help the user or guardian-accompanying wheelchair to handle it easily and efficiently. The recent development in the field of Artificial Intelligence, Sensor technologies and Robotics help the growth of wheelchairs with new features. This paper is to review the current state of art of Smart Wheelchairs and discuss the future research in this field.
