This document summarizes an automated wheelchair project. It discusses why automating a wheelchair is necessary to help customers with limited mobility. The approach uses an Arduino microcontroller, 3-axis accelerometer sensor, H-bridge motor driver, and rechargeable battery to power two geared DC motors and automate the wheelchair based on hand gestures detected by the sensor. The project timeline includes analyses in June, assembling components and coding in July through September, and prototype testing in October. Potential applications are in healthcare centers and homes, with future work including implementing at a larger scale, adding obstacle avoidance, and making the system wireless.
