This intellichair is designed to help the paralysed person who moves on a wheel chair, instead of the handicapped person moves the wheel chair by his hand, the chair will automatically move to a particular direction as the patient moves his eyes towards a direction, with the help of Eye ball movement detection sensor. The chair will also sense the obstacles in front of it and gives a beep sound. The details regarding the construction of this chair includes the following
Model:
A prototype model which symbolizes the wheel chair is constructed using the MS Sheet
Master Controller:
A pic Micro controller will act as a master controller for the movement of the robot. It is responsible for all the decisions taken by the robot.
Eye ball Movement Sensor:
This is used to sense the movement of the eye ball’s direction and converts it into digital data and transfers it to the Master controller. (Straight Command, Left/Right Command, Stop Command)
Electronics Boards
OptoCoupler With Stepper Driver Board.
The need of Optocoupler is to isolate the Interface Board form the Stepper Motor to restrict any high voltage to the Interface board. And this board also contains stepper Driver circuit to amplify the Voltage and to withstand high current because the pulse coming out from the Interface is not tough enough to drive the Motor.
Stepper Power Supply.
This board contains the power Supply for the stepper motor and relay driver.
Sensors for Artifical Intelligence
The Art of putting some human brain into a Machine is Artificial Intelligence. Sensors are provided to achieve this task. For Eg. The robot and position itself when it finds some obstacle in its path, or Flame or hot Materials.
Software Driver in Hitech C
This is a software tool used to control the angular position i.e., to send specified pulses with controlled timing to vary the speed as when and where required.
