Abstract

Physical handicapped people are indivisible part of our society. Many of them are using manual
wheelchairs. Now-a-days electric wheelchairs are increasingly demanded because of their advantages and use of
simplicity. There are numbers of control systems are implemented in electric wheelchair such as voice operated, gesture
controlled, brain controlled etc. The control system is depending upon different parameters such as type of disability,
cost, environment in which it is used. Every control system is suitable for different users. The person with severe
disabilities required two or more than two control system should be implemented in a wheelchair. This paper focuses on
different control system used in electric wheelchair. This paper is mainly literature review of various designs and
development of different control systems.
