Smart and automatic wheelchair using Arduino Uno

This paper presents a novel approach to wheelchair control using hand gesture recognition, enabling enhanced mobility for individuals with disabilities. The system employs computer vision and sensor-based technologies to interpret predefined hand gestures, translating them into wheelchair movement commands. Using machine learning algorithms, the model ensures accurate gesture recognition with minimal latency. The proposed system enhances accessibility by reducing dependence on physical joysticks or voice commands, making it suitable for users with varying motor abilities. Experimental results demonstrate high accuracy in gesture detection and smooth wheelchair navigation. Future work includes optimizing real-time processing and integrating adaptive learning for personalized control.
