Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wheelchair that includes a base frame having robotic legs and a seat assembly. A pair of armrests include at least one control stick and an electronic display for operating the wheelchair. A motor receives power from rechargeable batteries and extends or retracts the robotic legs. The legs have big wheels and small wheels that assists in movement of the wheelchair, including ascending and descending a staircase. The small wheels can be raised or lowered as per requirements automatically by the motor using a sensor or manually using the control stick. The wheelchair can be operated remotely using a handheld remote-control device enabling a caretaker to remotely activate and maneuver the wheelchair. The wheelchair enables individuals who use wheelchairs to remain independent even in traditionally non-accessible spaces and offers a way for disabled, elderly, and sick individuals to retain their independence.
