Abstract

We have use an automated walker which using electric wheels as the base and the handicapped peoples are still able to gain their balance as the walker gives them grip to hold on to. The directions are control by the driver through easy access keys and speed is kept at minimum always. Rubber wheels are used for the grip and the direction changes are pointed out in the front panel. The use of automated walker reduces the effort required by handicapped people as they can reduces the effect required by handicapped people as they can relax their arm muscles and not get fatigue by the machine.
