The application of automated systems to reduce the human effort in several areas is quite common. Therecent advancements contributing to overall development of wheelchairs has led to the creation of wheelchairs whichsuffice the needs of patients effectively. Yet some members of the disabled community find it difficult or impossible tooperate a standard power wheelchair. To accommodate this population, we have developed Adaptive Astute MechanizedWheelchair which can accommodate every kind of patient with varying form of disability. This paper describes thedesign of a prototype of the Adaptive Astute Mechanized technology, which has been evaluated on wheelchair. Thismulti-control wheelchair incorporates smart control features like touch control, voice control, gesture control, computercontrol along with medication reminder and stair climbing facility to assist primary needs of patient. The wheelchaircontrol system consists of integration of microcontroller ATmega16 with Bluetooth module, RF receiver unit and dualtone multiple frequency decoder incorporated with sturdy and stable wheelchair base mechanism to navigate desiredpaths.
