Abstract : Mobility has always been highly valued but autonomy in this area is impaired by disability of one form or the other.This paper focuses on a prototype model of an automated wheelchair that can traverse architectural barriers such as stairs and curbs. There are some notable modifications included in this prototype, which are: (i) Simpler and more coherent delta wheel mechanism for climbing stairs (ii) Economically feasible design (iii) A piston-adjustable reclining seat mechanism for accessing ATM’s and other higher grounds The main idea behind the project is to provide a low cost stair-curb climbing wheelchair in order to enhance mobility for the disabled. The paper also contains our proposed design and specifications of the components used in the making. Index Terms - Stair climbing wheelchair, Delta wheel mechanism, Pneumatic circuit
