Abstract: Quadriplegia, sometimes known as Tetraplegia, is a type of paralysis that causes sensory and motor function loss in all four limbs. The incapacity of individuals with quadriplegia to move independently is one of the most significant obstacles they encounter. Quadriplegics are unable to use both traditional wheelchairs and normal motorized wheelchairs due to their loss of arm control.This head motion controlled wheelchair was created to solve and improve the problem of autonomous mobility that those restricted to wheelchairs experience.This wheelchair, built with a six-motor mechanism, is intended for high torque, low-speed operation. As a result, it can readily ascend ramps and slopes.This method makes use of an accelerometer-equipped helmet..
