Abstract
This paper presents the design and implementation of a low-cost and reliable wireless motion control system for conventional electric wheelchairs. The presented work aims to enhance the mobility of handicapped and elderly wheelchair users by utilizing a mobile application to control the motion of their unattained wheelchairs. The designed system takes into consideration cost, weight, a range of operation, ease of use, and implementation. The conventional electric wheelchair is equipped with a motorized front wheel steering mechanism. In addition, it is equipped with a Wi-Fi module to support remote motion control via a specially designed Android mobile application called “Android Application For NavigAtioN”; AAFNAN for short. Experimental testing of the prototype showed successful remote motion control and ease of use.
