Abstract: An automated system is developed to control the motor rotation of a wheelchair based on the head movements of a physically challenged person sitting on a chair. The people who are affected by diseases like (loss of limbs-legs/hands, due to accidents or by birth) that they cannot move their body parts except their head. In order to facilitate these people for their independent movement a wireless head movement control system has been designed and implemented. An accelerometer is fixed on the person's head, based on the head movement the accelerometer drives the wheelchair.
