Multi-Mode Control for Assistive Technology Device
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
This paper proposes the design and setup of a multi-mode control system for assistive technology device. Physically challenged people rely on assistive technological devices for their daily chores. But the currently available standard power wheelchairs are not customized. Since each individual person possesses unique needs and different level of disability, we propose a device taking into account, the degree of disability and their comfort. In this paper, the proposed system considers first, second and third degree of disability in the society. Using this system, an assistive device can be operated in four different modes. Joystick mode can be selected for users who fall in the third degree of handicap. This mode would be appealing to any disabled persons who maintain the complete use of their arms and upper body, but either permanently or temporarily lack the use lower body. The Caregiver mode and Auto gesture mode are proposed for users who fall in the first and second degree of handicap. The fourth mode, blind mode is used for self-manure of visually impaired people. In all the above modes of operation, safe maneuver is ensured by obstacle detection system.Theentire system is coordinated and controlled by microcontroller.
