Modular
Plug and Play
Open Source
This video shows the implementation of SMP into a head controlled wheelchair.
The head control system is designed for people with certain disabilities such as quadriplegia.
The control works by using an accelerometer in the helmet and a microcontroller. It is then connected to universal control module which has also been designed for the wheelchair. The universal controller allows the wheelchair to be controlled by any means as long as our protocol is followed.
SMP was built as a Senior Design Project for UNLV during the Fall 2011 semester. Our group won the Grand prize, defeating groupos from EE,CpE, ME, and CE
