Description
A mobility system adapted for people with severe motor disabilities has been implemented, starting from different types of biomedical signal detention interfaces. This system uses eye winks, residual ability in a large number of cases, to guide an electric wheelchair. The interaction with the conventional joystick guidance system is made in a mechanical way and external to it. The system includes an Arduino hardware platform that makes all the necessary processing with the help of a microcontroller, which is responsible for managing the detection of orders, the direction control and the speed and the detection of obstacles. With regard to the hardware, apart from the interface and the power system, the control of the joystick is made in a mechanical way and external to it through an engine system and the detection of obstacles through ultrasounds uses a three sensors network, side and frontal.Other information
