Abstract: This Work is based on Arduino, motor driver and Bluetooth module. Arduino is an open source prototyping platform Based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino uses an ATmega328 microcontroller. Since robotics has become a major part in our daily life and also in the engineering field and it plays a vital role in the development of new technology. This is a very simple and easy type form of remote-control wheelchair, where the ordinary micro-controller has been replaced by Arduino and IR sensors has been replaced by a Bluetooth module. The remote can be any android or IOS cell phones. This project can be made in a bigger scale for real time vehicles. We are now living in the 21st century. Now, smart phone has become the most essential thing in our daily life. Android application based smart phones are becoming each time more powerful and equipped with several accessories that are useful for Robots. This project describes how to control a wheelchair using mobile through Bluetooth communication, some features about Bluetooth technology, components of the mobile and robot. We present a review of wheelchair controlled by mobile phone via moving the wheelchair upward, backward, left and right side by the android application such as Arduino, Bluetooth. Bluetooth has changed how people use digital device at home or office, and has transferred traditional wired digital devices into wireless devices. Here we are using Bluetooth communication, interface microcontroller and android application. We are using Arduino software to interface the Bluetooth module with microcontroller. According to commands received from android the robot motion can be controlled. We derived simple solutions to provide a framework for building wheelchair with very low cost but with high computation and sensing capabilities provided by the smart phone that is used as a control device.

Keywords:  Arduino, Bluetooth module, Wheelchair, Android phone.
