IoT-Enabled and Hand Gesture Controlled Robotic Arm Using Blynk IoT and OpenCV
Abstract: Robotic arms have become vital in environments that necessitate control, stability, and remote operation. This study presents a low-cost, multifunctional robotic arm that operates in four distinct modes: gesture control using OpenCV, IoT-based control via the Blynk platform and ESP32, joystick- based manual control, and an automatic mode driven by coordinates stored on an SD card. The system integrates multiple control mechanisms through the ESP32 microcontroller and utilizes servo motors …

Voice Controlled Wheelchair Along with Health Monitoring
Abstract: In recent years, mobility aids like wheelchairs have been essential for enhancing the independence of individuals with physical disabilities. However, traditional wheelchairs, often controlled manually or via joysticks, pose challenges for those with severe impairments. This project introduces a voice-controlled wheelchair integrated with health monitoring capabilities, addressing these limitations. The system features an ESP32 microcontroller that processes voice commands, such as "move forward" or "stop," captured by a microphone and …

Development of an Electric Wheelchair for the Smooth Functioning of Physically Disabled Persons
Abstract: Wheelchairs can be moved manually, with the assistance of a partner, a joystick, or both. For patients with impairments, other pushing or controlling methods aside of a wheelchair are required. People use wheelchairs as they are unable to walk because of an illness, an accident, or a handicap. 15% of people globally have a disability, according to the WHO International Report on Disability. 131.8 million people, or 1.85% of the …
