Description
Summary:The development of smart wheelchair systems has gained significant attention due to the increasing demand for assistive technologies that enhance the independence and mobility of individuals with disabilities. Traditional wheelchair control methods often limit the user’s ability to perform tasks with ease. This paper proposes an innovative dual-mode control system that integrates both hand gesture recognition and voice command technology to enable more intuitive, responsive, and adaptive control of wheelchairs. The proposed system combines the strengths of both gesture and voice recognition to provide a robust solution that adapts to the needs of users with various disabilities. A detailed description of the system architecture, implementation, and evaluation is provided.
