Previous Work                      

A wheelchair is a mechanical device that can often assist. It effectively uses wheels and mechanical support to overcome a loss of legs or leg control. Manual wheelchairs can be operated by persons who have the use of their upper body or someone available to assist.

However this kind of wheelchair is give less guaranteed for the comfortable and safety, especially in how to obstacle avoidance or hole that can be endanger to the user.

The developed model can move manually or automatically, besides the usage of sensor system for obstacle avoidance and suitable motor that can be implemented to power wheelchair in order to get a more convenient to the user.

This Robotic Wheelchair for specialize operations is ideal for daily use because it’s easy to use and different from others wheelchair. This wheelchair in two versions which is full and half reclining and it’s more comfortable to use because it’s has extra net cushion and back detachable.

Robotic technologies have the potential to improve the lifestyles of people suffering from one or more disabilities. Robotic Wheelchair for specialize operations is ideal for people who are under special care and who find it difficult to move from their bed to the wheelchair. This wheelchair design features an adjustable height with a sliding seat that brings convenience to the chore of moving amid the chair and the bed. This design proves to be highly useful for the caregiver as well as the receiver of the care.

Review of History

Lying in bed for a long period of time is generally depressing and boring for most patients. To boost their spirits and make them more comfortable, you are required or patients will often ask for a change in position and surroundings. The only way to do this is to safely transfer the patient from bed to chair or wheelchair. Being transferred to a chair enables the patient to execute some slight movements that is beneficial in improving circulation. Using a wheelchair serves as a way to transport a weak patient around the hospital areas for treatments such as x-ray, ultrasound, or to the lab. From this situation, the common wheelchair does not have the reclining part which make uneasy to use because the nurse need to transfer the patients.
