IntroductionContemporary innovation has witnessed emergence of intelligent wheelchairs that provide support to the individuals who are unable to move their entire body except few ones. These wheel chairs are able to detect the movement of the muscles that are still under control of these individuals and provide movement facilities. However, there are numerous individuals who are unable to control their entire body except their eyes (Arai and Mardiyanto, 2011). Therefore, it isimportant that a wheelchair system should come into existence that can act in accordance with the eye movement only. The report is concerned with understanding the existing technology in the motorized pediatric wheelchairs and the application of innovative eye-sensor technology (also called eye-detective). The initially the problem concerning the existing wheelchairs have been discussed with the identification of goals and objectives in light of identified innovative technology. Moreover, the motorized pediatric wheelchair technology has been discussed under the section of ‘prevailing techniques’ and then the suggested technology has been discussed in detail. The two crucial elements of the new system design has been considered, namely, eye detection and motion tracking, and ATMega1284P controlled wheel chair assembly. The later section discusses the implementation of the innovative technology along with the probable challenges in conducting this activity. The stakeholders have also been considered and the strategic alliance that are imperative for the successful implementation of this technological improvement. Problem DescriptionOne can witness huge number of individuals who are unable to move their body due to variety ofreasons such as paralysis, loss of body parts, injured nervous system and others. The conventional wheelchairs were developed to solve this challenge (Kim, 2013). These wheelchairs work on manual power of individual users or with the help of someone supporting the wheelchair from behind for desired movement. The assumptions behind this mechanism are that the users at least have hand to move the chair or have someone always in support for movement assistance. However, it is well known that this assumption is far from reality. There are individuals who cannot even move their hands along with the other parts of the body (Ayodeji and Adejuyigbe, 2009). In such cases, the manually powered wheelchairs prove to be of no use if there is no one to support them. Scientist Stephen W. Hawking can be considered as one example who cannot utilize manual wheel chairs or even the motorized wheelchairs that require input from voluntary muscles (B andReddy, 2015). However, in majority of these cases, it has been observed that the individuals can still move their eyes. Therefore, considering these challenges and the requirement of a wheelchair that asks for minimal movement, the paper has suggested the consideration of eye sensor technology for the wheelchairs.
