In the modern world, individuals with physical disabilities and the elderly often rely on others for assistance. However, as society becomes increasingly fast-paced, many people find it difficult to dedicate time to caregiving. Automated wheelchairs offer a solution for easy transportation for those with physical impairments. This study aims to design and develop a wheelchair controlled by hand gestures using a Gesture Control System. Wheelchairs are essential for individuals unable to walk due to physical limitations, injuries, or disabilities. Recent advancements show significant potential in creating hand gesture-based or smart wheelchairs. This paper introduces a gesture-based wheelchair using an accelerometer sensor, which allows the user to control the wheelchair's direction through hand movements. We present a model for a hand gesture-controlled user interface, highlighting current technology trends, applications, and usability. Our integrated approach for real-time detection employs a hand gesture-based data glove technique, utilizing an accelerometer sensor to control the wheelchair with hand movements. This study proposes a low-voltage, low-cost, and compact 3-axis wireless system to manage the wheelchair via an AVR microcontroller.
