Disability as of today is a regular phenomenon among humans. Often caused by factors that are entirely out of the control of humans be it genetics or birth defects or accidents it is a fact that often mobility is usually affected by disabilities specifically paralysis of various forms. The common types of paralysis in humans include monoplegia which affects one limb of the body, Diplegia, which affects the same area on both sides, like both arms, both legs, or both sides of your face and Hemiplegia, which is on just one side of your body and is usually caused by stroke damage on one side of your brain.[1] it is adamant that various aids of mobility be developed to help mobility of disabled people with respect to parts of the body that retain some form of proper function as the source of signal as input for some sort of motor control be it an elbow or the neck or feet. For this research paper I will be designing a wheelchair actuated by dual motors that are in turn controlled by a micro-controlling unit like the Arduino using signals obtained from finger gestures to move in various directions and implementing safety protections using sensors for obstacle detection. This paper will also review some literature relating to this topic and discuss their unique strengths and weaknesses.
