Two third year B. Tech (Electrical and Electronics Engineering) students of VIT University, Jagan Mohan and K. Dinesh Kumar have bagged the first prize in the CoreEl- Digilent Design Contest (CDDC) for designing an innovative Smart Wheelchair for use by physically disabled persons.
The Smart Wheelchair can be operated and controlled by the disabled persons through voice command.
One can give simple instructions such as ‘forward,’ ‘backward,’ ‘left’ and ‘right’ to control the movement of the wheelchair.
While 102 teams comprising 240 students and 88 faculty members took part in CDDC 2013, a group of eminent panellists shortlisted the Top 20 design ideas from among all the project proposals.
