Abstract-   A wheelchair is not the same functionality for a person with disabilities. In our project, we have designed a programmable automatic wheelchair. In our project, we have connected a DC motor to a common wheel of a wheel chair. The motor is connected to the wheel of the wheel chair by means of a chain and a 12 volt DC supply is given to the motor. Controllers are attached to turn the motor on and off, this wheelchair allows physically challenged people to move from one position to another. A physically challenged person needs the support of another person to operate a normal wheelchair. The core of our project is a self-propelled wheel chair for the physically challenged that moves with arm movements and head movements. This wheel chair is operated with the help of hand gestures so that a physically challenged person can easily operate Wheel Chair This wheelchair is operated by hand movements. If we move the arm in forward backward direction then the wheel chair will move forward and backward. To make the wheel rotate in 360 degrees, forward, backward, right, left, and stop, induction is given. To decode this induction, Arduino uno is used. The Arduino uno is given a 12V DC supply and a DC motor is connected to it. This paper proposes a novel approach to provide intelligence to a low-cost smart wheelchair based on a wheel chair embedded system. Sensors give the wheelchair the power to sense and the scientific inference in the microcontroller gives the wheelchair the intelligent power to make and execute decisions. This wheel chair is partially made so that a physically challenged person can buy it at a low cost.
