The project presents an innovative Voice-Controlled Wheelchair designed to enhance mobility and independence for individuals with physical disabilities. The system utilizes Raspberry Pi 4 for voice recognition and Arduino Nano for motor control, enabling users to navigate the wheelchair using simple voice commands such as “Forward,” “Reverse,” “Left,” “Right,” and “Stop.”

The developed system achieved an impressive command recognition accuracy of around 96% in quiet environments and 85% in noisy environments, with a rapid response time of approximately 0.8 seconds and efficient battery backup of nearly 3.5 hours per charge.

This research highlights the students’ technical excellence in embedded systems, AI-assisted voice processing, and assistive mobility technologies. The project also opens pathways for future advancements including AI-based adaptive control, IoT-enabled remote monitoring and advanced power management systems.
