Abstract

This research presents a novel voice-controlled wheelchair system that integrates with home automation technologies to enhance mobility and independence for individuals with disabilities. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this project addresses the limitations of existing assistive devices by leveraging state-of-the-art voice recognition and machine learning techniques. The primary objectives of this study were twofold: first, to develop a highly accurate and reliable voice controlled wheelchair system capable of interpreting user commands with precision. Second, to seamlessly integrate this system with home automation devices, enabling users to control their living environments through natural voice commands. The research methodology combines hardware design, software development, and machine learning algorithms. The results of this project demonstrate significant advancements in assistive technology, offering a comprehensive solution that empowers users with increased independence and an improved quality of life. The integration of voice control and home automation features represents an approach that holds broader implications for the fields of assistive technology and healthcare.
