Abstract :
Proposed is an intelligent wheelchair (IW) for the severely disabled, where the direction of the IW is determined by the inclination of the user´s head, while the stopping and starting are determined by the shape of the user´s mouth. Since this mechanism requires minimal motion, the proposed IW is more comfortable and adaptable for the severely disabled.
