Stair Climbing Electric Wheelchair

Abstract

From 18 century many types of wheelchairs had been designed, by developing its functionality. Our project focuses on addressing the mobility challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, particularly those who encounter difficulties navigating staircases. The project introduces a novel solution in the form of an electric stair- climbing wheelchair designed to provide enhanced accessibility in both indoor and outdoor environments. The wheelchair incorporates innovative technologies, including electric motors and intelligent control systems, to enable seamless and safe navigation on various types of stairs. The important parts of this product are conveyor belt, frame and driving mechanism climbing wheelchair for regular use by old disabled people. The design of frame will be done by considering various loads, stresses at various positions. The main factor of wheelchair are the angle of stair and center of gravity of whole system. The design process involves considerations for user comfort, safety, and ease of operation, with a particular emphasis on accommodating diverse user needs. Through a combination of both electrical and mechanical engineering principles and modern electronics, the wheelchair is equipped to ascend and descend stairs smoothly, offering a versatile solution for individuals with mobility impairments. We also plan to explore user feedback and ergonomic evaluations to refine the wheelchair's design and functionality. Preliminary testing would be done to demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed solution in real-world scenarios. The findings of this study contribute to the ongoing efforts to improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities by expanding their mobility options and promoting inclusivity in various environments.
