Neuro Motion Wheelchair Guidance

Abstract

Neuro Motion Wheelchair Guidance is a smart self contained assistive mobility assistance system that enables the process of empowering persons with severe physical disabilities by incorporating brain computer interface (BCI) and gesture recognition systems. The system allows users to operate a motorized wheelchair by using the brainwave too as well as the predetermined gestures with the help of the hands without any additional equipment or being connected to the internet. The suggested solution will make use of a Raspberry Pi 5 as the core unit of the processing machine, to which an EEG headset (to collect neural signals) and a camera module (to record hand gestures) will be connected. Two special AI models, which are trained on the EEG and visual gesture datasets, are run locally on the Raspberry Pi to categorize user commands in a real-time. According to these forecasts, the L298 motor controller will act as the motor controller that drives the forward and backward movement of the DC motors with a 12V supply and a 5V powered servo motor will be used to steer to the left and right. Every element motors, sensors, and controllers are also integrated together using a smooth interface using the GPIO and are also minimized to achieve low latency response. It is a fully autonomous hands free mobility system that is designed to provide an experience of complete autonomy in mobility compared to traditional joystick or voice based control systems, which are recommended to patients with such conditions as ALS, cerebral palsy, or spinal cord injuries. The built-in operating system also avoids any reliance on the mobile applications or network connectivity and guarantees regular operation and privacy of the user. The Neuro Motion Wheelchair creates a solid and compatible platform of the future generation of assistive robotics by combining neural computing with embedded AI. It shows how the availability of technology and intelligent automation can help people with physical impairments be independent, have a high level of mobility, and have the quality of life that is highly improved.
