Intelligent and Powered Wheel Chair

Type:  Equipment
IPR Status:  Design Registration
Secured In:  India
Application/uses: 

It is a differentially driven model where two of the central wheels are used for power and rear wheels have active suspension mounted casters. The design provides enhanced mobility and stability and capability to turn full 360 degrees in any narrow corridor. It can also go up slant pavements, maintaining stability. It offers high degree of maneuverability to navigate smoothly on ups and downs. Its light weight components (main body and seating) decreases the overall weight without compromising on safety.

Socio-economic Impact: The market value of the Powered Wheel Chair is ranging between Rs. 1,00,000/- to Rs. 3,00,000/- as per the online brochures. The envisaged cost of the developed technology/product of CSIR-CMERI is approximately Rs 45,000/- to 50,000/-.  Simultaneously the system has immense societal value for the physically challenged people, health centres, old age population for mobility and rehabilitation purpose.
