Abstract : Robots of the future should communicate with humans in a natural way. Hence, we are especially interested in
hand motion based gesture interfaces. The purpose of this study was to present a reliable means for human-computer
interfacing based on hand gestures made in three dimensions, which could be interpreted and adequately used in controlling
a remote robot's movement. In this paper we discuss the development of a novel architecture of an intelligent wheelchair
working on wireless hand gesture control and not by the usual method of keypad for the physically handicapped people.
Unlike others before it, this project also has a distress call system (GSM) to alert the concerned people or family in times of
necessity for the person, by the person himself/herself from an alert switch or when there is any sudden detection of edge or
staircase during backward motion, thus saving the chair from accidents. The locomotion of the wheelchair is controlled by a
MCU (microcontroller). The physically handicapped people will have the option of controlling the system through hand
gesture wirelessly from ranges up to several meters and will have the independence of using the wheelchair without the help
of any other people.
