Abstract:
Driving a manual wheelchair is a difficult task and people with disabilities face many problems in moving and steering using it. In addition to that, the electric wheelchair is expensive for people in developing countries. The purpose of this project is to design a low-cost wheelchair by considering the developing countries' environment and roads where it is nearly impossible for the disabled to move freely without the need for help. The constructed wheelchair has six wheels based on the rover robot rocker-bogie mechanism which makes it more flexible in moving on the terrain. PVC tube has been chosen as a wheelchair material due to it is good sustainable stress, low cost, and availability. Arduino UNO module is used to control the wheel's direction by push buttons. The proposed wheelchair deletes the problem of the normal wheelchair in addition to its ability to adjust the size to fit a growing person especially kids.
