Advance eye controlled wheelchair for disabled person. Guide:-Prof.Namrata lade. Electronics Engineering department. Ravi Dubey, Manish Jain, Isha Padia and Sonali Pawaskar. Atharva College of Engineering, Malad (W), Mumbai 400 067. INDIA. ABSTRACT [1]The project includes electronic eye movement controlled wheelchair which is implemented for the disabled person. Statistics suggests that there are around 40 cases per million of quadriplegia (Paralysis of four limbs) every year. Person suffering from quadriplegia cannot operate the typical wheelchair available for disabled person. As an attempt to make lives of the people suffering from this phenomenon simple, the project aims at using eye pupil movement to control wheelchair. The web camera attached to the laptop placed on the wheelchair of the user will capture the image of the eyes. [2]These eye movements are processed using MATLAB software and serial commands are sent to Arduino circuit which then controls the motor attached to the Wheelchair. Ultrasonic sensor is used to detect obstacle in the path of wheelchair. An additional eye blink controlled camera is attached to the …show more content…
The alternative design which we finalized, captures the images using a webcam that will be attached to the laptop placed on the wheelchair of the user.These captured images will be sent to the Matlab where it will compare the images with the pre input images and give the required output to the Arduino which is further connected to the motor of the wheelchair. Thus with these serial commands given to the motor by the Arduino through Matlab will decide direction of the wheelchair. The commands given to the Matlab can include commands like Left, Right, Stop, Forward, Reverse
Ken stated that he has been using his manual wheelchair for mobility the majority of the time. In order to mitigate the risks of skin integrity breakdown and optimize energy efficiency and functionality, a thorough assessment of his body (e.g.posture, range of motion, trunk control, length of legs, etc.), current wheelchair, and cushion must be conducted, keeping future declines in physical condition in mind (Pendleton, H., & Schultz-Krohn, 2013). An unstandardized, personalized wheelchair assessment will be conducted. It will be personalized by doing it after assessing Ken’s home environment, evaluating the impact of his motor and non-motor symptoms of PD, and defining his occupational goals.
In a essay by Nancy Mairs, the author argues that even though someone is disabled you do not need to treat them like they are their disability. Mairs support her claim by giving examples of how people treat her and how advertisers turn away from using disabled people in their commercials. Mairs purpose is to use catalogs, logical fallacy, and illusion in order to show that disable and able-bodied people are very alike. Based on the use of illusion, simile, and euphemism, Mairs is writing for the educated yet common

In this report I am going to assess ways in which different types of dementia affect an individual and also the individual’s family and friends. Due to the symptoms and consequences of dementia, a major impact on individual is the feeling of insecurity and the loss of confidence in themselves and their abilities. This can increase a sense of loss of control which in turn may result in the individuals doubting themselves and losing trust in their own judgements. These problems are made worse by the reaction of the people around them that are closest to them, such as friends and family and colleagues will begin to respond to them differently and not treat them in the same way as before.
The Americans with Disabilities Act or the ADA which was passed and signed on July 26, 1990 into law by President George W. Bush, prohibits the discrimination against people with disabilities in employment such as transportation, public accommodation, communications, and government. Within the Deaf community, getting a job is a slight more difficult than it is for those who can hear because of the obvious deafness they have. With the backing of the Americans with Disabilities Act, those who experience deafness have a better opportunity to be able to coexist normally within the workplace. The ADA helps also with establishing equality within the workplace which does not limit the deaf such as teletypewriters.
Meghan Denny ASL 2750 4/26/2023 Deaf Like Me: Reading Reflection When given this book to read for class, I was very excited to get the chance to read it. I have previously taken the Deaf Culture class here at Harding and I was excited to read about it from a new perspective. The book Deaf Like Me is written by Thomas S. Spradley and James P. Spradley.
Throughout history the disabled have been mistreated and abused. Today we are making improvements to make it better. We should be trying to make it better all disabled people in the future, because they deserve the right as much as any other person. Some say, that people with disabilities are treated the same as they were in the past or that it’s not an issue on how they are treated.
In this world today I 've noticed that there have been way more homeless people and I always said that why can 't we find ways to help the homeless out so that they could have a good lifestyle. One thing i notice is that a lot of it is people are greedy with their money. There is enough food in the world so that everyone could eat and be healthy and the homeless are in need of that. This has become a problem in the world today because people act like they are homeless and they are not so people don 't want to help out, but what about the people that are homeless they need money, food , clothing and more, but people mess that up for them. People in this day in age try to have everything but why wouldn 't you want to help a homeless person out you could really change their life.
What is the American the ADA, Americans with Disabilities Act, and why it is important? To start we need to know that the Law system in the United States is completely different than in Spain, there the Law is based on the customs, and the day by day. In the United State, the Congress is divided in two: the Senate and the House of Representative. The fists rights that Americans had was the Bill of Rights, the first one is freedom of speech, religion, etc; the second is the right to carry a gun.
Stella young is a disabled woman who gives a Ted talk on why she is not your inspiration. In this talk she mentions how disabled people as a whole are seen as making huge achievements and being an inspiration to others when they are just living their normal lives. Stella goes on to explain how when she was younger her community wanted to nominate her for an achievement award even though she had done nothing out of the ordinary, but just because she is in a wheelchair. It’s common to idolize images of men and women who are “beating the odds” and are doing things “despite” their disability, when in reality they are “using their body to the best of their ability” (Young, 2014) I agree with Stella’s argument here.
Some examples of devices that make use of assistive technology include newly developed computer programs, traffic signals and electric wheelchairs. At the same time, the concept of accessibility also involves the application of adaptive technology which refers to the modification of already existing devices to enable various categories of people such as the disabled to use them in everyday life. For instance, any modifications made to a wheelchair or listening device such as a wheelchair would fall in the realm of adaptive technology.
The final design must require only one arm on one side of the body for steering, braking, and forward/backward propulsion, while being better suited for Jamaica’s more rugged terrain. These specifications are the driving force for the design. The intent of this project is to enable individuals with adequate use of only one hand/arm to fully control the wheelchair with just that arm. 2.
Assistive devices can help children who face. Celebrary palsy by allowing them to speak through devices in order to communicate
Disabled Children and Schools. It seems that people assess the state of public to go for children with high-capacity public schools came with a positive result meaning it is the outcome of 53% agree to go kids included those for public schools meaning it is more than OK half of this opinion. For example, Nicholas Vujicic was a man without any limbs in his body and despite this handicap he was very successful in his studies and graduated from the school decided to enter Griffith University in Australia to study by accounting and despite all the people encouraged by his mother to become a person full of vitality and fulfill all his wishes became Nicholas Responsible for two companies and their management. If this person is disabled, how are the common people or those who are healthy?
Disabled people are people who have mental or physical limitation so they depend on someone to support them in doing their daily life needs and jobs. Although disabled people are a minority and they are normally ignored, they are still a part of the society. The statistics show that the proportion of disabled people in the world rose from 10 percent in the seventies of the last century to 15 percent so far. The number of handicapped exceeds a billion people all over the world, occupied about 15 percent of the world's population, as a result of an aging population and the increase in chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, blood and psychological diseases that are related with disabilities and impairments.
