Abstract

Abstract: The passive walker devices currently in use may steer or brake spontaneously, requiring the user to urge them ahead. This project creates a smart walker system with sensors and actuators for enhanced support and assistance. Here, the user controls the walker with hand gestures. Better physical support, sensory support, cognitive support, health monitoring, and human-machine interface are the key benefits. The method incorporates gyroscopes that measure the angles of hand movements and start the smart walker moving in the user's chosen directions. The temperature sensor, EMG sensor and gyroscope are used, to measure the health factors such as temperature, muscle activity and leg position angles and hand angles. Arduino is used as a control unit. It is mostly applied for the use of senior persons and people with lower limb disabilities during the rehabilitation stage.
