Abstract

Currently, thousands of people  are  suffering  from paralysis.  They  have  difficulties  with  speaking  and  walking.  So we’ve developed a new kind  of robot that  can help those people who  can’t  walk  or  speak.  By utilizing  this  robot (hand  gloves or wheelchair  handle)  and gesture-based regulators, people with physical  disabilities  will improve  their  quality  of life. The robot of the proposal  has two components,  one is the controller  of the motion,  and  the  other  is the  Robotic  Wheelchair (RW).  Where one can easily interact  with the robotic-base wheelchair-using sensor-based hand  gesture.  With this human-robot interaction, a patient  can quite easily control the robot and can move freely. In addition,  the required patients  may use gestures  (hand  gloves or wheelchair  handle)  to express  their  needs. Furthermore, we will reduce the effort  to regulate the RW and  hand  movements  with this  device, that’s  really difficult  for  disabled  or  dumb  people. Our  device can run  with approximately 94% accuracy  and  very minimal  delay
