Development of automatic voice activated low cost wheelchair using intelligent standalone controlling system and Interfaces (Embedded LabVIEW and Compact Reconfigurable Input/Output FPGA Card-cRIO-9074) for physically impaired people is presented in this paper. Various interfaces to control the powered wheelchair were proposed in the past since the voice is the most natural communication ways for person so our study pays more attention to speech recognition. The voice commands produced by the user are captured and processed by the intelligent system. The system is integrated with Ultrasonic sensor and IR sensor for obstacle detection and path finding. © 2012 IEEE.

A vital perception in designing human-machine interfaces for people with disabilities is hands-free control. It is important in setting up communication among a machine and the part of human body. Nowadays, hands-free control is extensively used to help disabled people to control the wheelchair. The hands-free control functions are not only helpful to elderly and disabled, but also useful for normal people who might require using their hands for other tasks at the same time. As a result, normal people are capable of manipulating multiple tasks at the same time. The wheelchair is manoeuvred using brainwaves, eyes and facial muscles movements, voice, tongue, gesture. The mobility using a powered wheelchair improves the quality of life of the aged people and the people with mobility impairments significantly. These powered wheelchairs can be actuated using various high-level control interfaces. In this review, the use of natural biological signals and non-biological signal to do the hands-free control of powered wheelchair is presented in this article.

High-level hands-free control of wheelchair – a review

The aim of this study is to present a system of controlled and automated heating using intelligent standalone controlling system and Interfaces (Embedded LabVIEW and Compact Reconfigurable Input/output FPGA Card-cRIO-9274). As Voice control is regarded as most convenient controlling option for human nature. The voice acquisition is made using microphone, the Microsoft SDK captures the voice and integrates it with the VI. The hardware consists of K-type thermocouple, Contact type level sensor for controlling process variables and NI-DAQ cards for signal acquisition. © Maxwell Scientific Organization, 2014.
