Voice-Actuated Wheelchair using Arduino | Chapter 14 | New Visions in Science and Technology Vol. 1

The goal of this study is to create a low-cost voice-activated wheelchair that can help persons with both upper and lower limb problems. The voice command from the speech recognition module is processed by an Arduino microcontroller, which then controls the wheelchair's motor movement. A Bluetooth module was also employed to eliminate messy wiring, and a joystick command was included in the prototype design as an option. The wheelchair's ability to detect spoken commands in English, Chinese, and Malay was quite high. By altering a commercially available manual wheelchair, a voice-activated wheelchair prototype was successfully constructed. The prototype's entire cost was ke   Author (S) Details Tan Kian Hou Quest International University, Malaysia. Yagasena Appannah Quest International University, Malaysia.

A Cost Effective Weather Monitoring Device | Chapter 09 | Advances in Applied Science and Technology Vol. 7

Getting the latest weather parameters and taking the necessary precautions about the recent climate induced environmental disasters have become a major course of concern in this era of global warming. In this research a cost effective weather monitoring device was constructed using an Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller and some contemporary suitable sensors with a real time data logger and LCD. The constructed weather monitoring system is beneficial in terms of its on-device display, smaller size, cost effective, flexibility and portability as well simplicity in its operation and would be used for some meteorological measurements. The data acquired from this constructed device were in good conformity with those obtained from other sources and would make weather data readily available for small-scale users like farmers, travellers, aircraft workers, researchers, institutions and others for the purpose of measuring, monitoring, analyzing and prognosticating of the climate in other to mi...
