Sabertooth Based Smart Electric Wheelchair with Advanced Features

Abstract

This paper describes the working of a Sabertooth based high power smart wheelchair. It is focused at  removing  the  wheelchair drive  issues  by  using  a  compendious motor  driver.  This driver is programmed and synchronized to allow stable movement in long drives, ramps, and slopes along with over current and heating protection. In addition, it aims at making disabled people independent by decreasing the use of physical, perceptual and cognitive skills. Further, it has been integrated with an Arduino, obstacle avoidance sensors (HC-SRO4), pulse and temperature sensors, and an android app to create automatic controllability and a comfortable drive with added monitoring features.
