 ABSTRACT
Title : Hand Gesture Based Wheelchair with

GSM Tracking and Obstacle Detection

for the Disabled

Number of Pages :

Authors : Alday, Aldwina – May N.

Daluz, Roman Paulo P.

Dimaano, Ellen May C.

Type of Document : Project Study

Name and Address of Institution : Lyceum of the Philippines University -

Batangas, Capitol Site, Batangas City

Objectives

The main objective of the study is to develop and design a “Hand

Gesture based Wheel Chair with GSM Tracking and Obstacle Detection for the

Disabled” which has the ability to travel with the use of hand gesture, tracks by a

GPS and detects obstacle.

For the accomplishment of the main objective, the following objectives

were also considered.

1. To determine the initial factors to consider in developing the project

design.
 2. To determine the appropriate design of the system with respect to the

components and materials to be used that will execute the expected

operation of the project design.

3. To determine different components needed in order to come up with the

hand gesture based wheelchair with monitoring system.

4. To design a motor driver which will operate the system based on hand

gestures.

5. To employ the ultrasonic sensors to the system for obstacle detection.

6. To create an android application for monitoring and in case of

emergencies.

7. To test the functionality, accuracy and efficiency of the design project.
