Abstract:   (189 Views)
This paper offers a comprehensive examination of smart robotic wheelchairs and their role in enhancing the mobility and independence of individuals with disabilities. Conventional wheelchairs often restrict users, leading to limited movement and accessibility. The emergence of smart robotic wheelchairs presents a promising solution to these issues. The study provides an overview of wheelchair technology, highlights challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, and assesses the benefits and drawbacks of smart robotic wheelchairs through a review of previous research. It delves into the features and functionalities of these wheelchairs, such as navigation and obstacle avoidance, autonomous and semi-autonomous modes, and customizable control options. Additionally, it analyses user experience, performance evaluation, and the impact on mobility and independence. The paper concludes by outlining future research directions and recommendations to further empower individuals with disabilities and enhance their quality of life.
Keywords: Human-machine Interface, Navigation System, Assistive device, Obstacle avoidance, Microcontroller
