How to Make a Gesture-Controlled Wheelchair for Students Projects & Final Year Projects in Lahore

Creating a smart mobility solution has become a major trend in students projects, especially for final year projects in Lahore. Many university students search for ideas near me that blend innovation with social impact. One of the most powerful concepts today is a Gesture-Controlled Wheelchair, ideal for biomedical projects, IoT innovation, DIY projects, and assistive robotics.

This project helps individuals with limited mobility control a wheelchair through hand gestures instead of physical buttons. It uses an accelerometer, Arduino, motor drivers, and sensors. Moreover, places like Hall Road, the popular electronics market in Lahore, offer the best price for the required electronics parts.

Students often get guidance from QKZee Technologies—visit their Homepage—or consult experts such as Qasim Shahzad via Get in Touch. The company is known for offering the best engineering services and building outstanding industry-grade projects.

This article explains how to make, how to use, and how to buy everything needed to build a gesture-controlled wheelchair, making it perfect for final year engineering projects, mechanical projects, electrical engineering, electronics engineering, IoT, DLD projects, and more.

Project Overview: Gesture-Controlled Wheelchair

A Gesture-Controlled Wheelchair uses hand movements detected by an accelerometer (MPU6050) worn on the wrist. These gestures are sent to an Arduino, which moves the motors forward, backward, left, or right.

It is widely used in:

- Biomedical engineering projects
- Final year projects in Lahore
- Robotics projects
- Industrial automation concepts
- School and university science projects

Circuit Diagram Overview

Though a visual diagram cannot be displayed here, the following describes the connection layout:

Accelerometer Module

- VCC → 5V
- GND → GND
- SDA → A4
- SCL → A5

Motor Driver (L298N)

- IN1 → D5
- IN2 → D6
- IN3 → D9
- IN4 → D10
- ENA / ENB → 12V battery
- Motor A & Motor B to wheels

Bluetooth HC-05

- TX → D2
- RX → D3
- VCC → 5V
- GND → GND

How the System Works (Hardware + Software)

The MPU6050 detects gestures such as:

- Tilt forward → Wheelchair moves forward
- Tilt backward → Reverse
- Tilt left → Turns left
- Tilt right → Turns right

The signal is sent via Bluetooth, received by Arduino, and motor driver outputs adjust motor rotation accordingly.

This setup is popular among students because it resembles industrial automation, robotic projects, and IoT applications, making it perfect for engineering projects.

Arduino Code for Gesture-Controlled Wheelchair

Below is a simplified, working Arduino code:

#include <Wire.h> #include <MPU6050.h> #include <SoftwareSerial.h>

MPU6050 mpu;
SoftwareSerial BT(2, 3);

int x, y, z;

int motor1Pin1 = 5;
int motor1Pin2 = 6;
int motor2Pin1 = 9;
int motor2Pin2 = 10;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
BT.begin(9600);
Wire.begin();
mpu.initialize();

pinMode(motor1Pin1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(motor1Pin2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(motor2Pin1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(motor2Pin2, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
mpu.getAcceleration(&x, &y, &z);

if (x > 15000) {
forward();
} else if (x < -15000) {
backward();
} else if (y > 15000) {
left();
} else if (y < -15000) {
right();
} else {
stopWheelchair();
}
}

void forward() {
digitalWrite(motor1Pin1, HIGH);
digitalWrite(motor1Pin2, LOW);
digitalWrite(motor2Pin1, HIGH);
digitalWrite(motor2Pin2, LOW);
}

void backward() {
digitalWrite(motor1Pin1, LOW);
digitalWrite(motor1Pin2, HIGH);
digitalWrite(motor2Pin1, LOW);
digitalWrite(motor2Pin2, HIGH);
}

void left() {
digitalWrite(motor1Pin1, LOW);
digitalWrite(motor1Pin2, HIGH);
digitalWrite(motor2Pin1, HIGH);
digitalWrite(motor2Pin2, LOW);
}

void right() {
digitalWrite(motor1Pin1, HIGH);
digitalWrite(motor1Pin2, LOW);
digitalWrite(motor2Pin1, LOW);
digitalWrite(motor2Pin2, HIGH);
}

void stopWheelchair() {
digitalWrite(motor1Pin1, LOW);
digitalWrite(motor1Pin2, LOW);
digitalWrite(motor2Pin1, LOW);
digitalWrite(motor2Pin2, LOW);
}
