Problem
Addressed

Mobility aids are essential, but most options are either basic or unaffordable. In India. only 10% of people have access to wheelchairs, and existing models lack flexibility. The proposed prototypes offers an affordable solution with multimodal controls (Brain control interface (BCD, touch, gesture, voice) and home automation integration. It provides customizable mobility. improving independence and quality of life for individuals with disabilities, while reducing reliance on caregivers.
