Sanskruti Agrawal, Yukta Jain, Ganesh Naik, Shubham Soneji, Keyoor Deorukhkar . EMG Signal Controlled Wheelchair. International Journal of Computer Applications. 185, 23 ( Jul 2023), 46-48. DOI=10.5120/ijca2023922986
EMG Signal Controlled Wheelchair is one possible way to help amputees, quadriplegics and people with limb impairment in day-to-day locomotion. The design described in this paper aims to enable movement by simple hand twitches. The paper describes the project from conceptualization to implementation. The EMG signals detected through electrodes undergo Signal Acquisition System and provide digital output to the microcontroller which in turn drives the respective motor. The Control Code is designed as when the person twitches its left or right hand the wheelchair turns left or right respectively and when both twitched simultaneously the wheelchair moves forward.
