Most of the power wheelchairs in the market are operated by a joystick. However, people who suffer from limb dysfunction may not be able to use this tool properly. This thesis aims to develop a system that using eyes motion and head postures to operate not only a power wheelchair but also a manipulator arm which is mounted on the power wheelchair. In detail, an eye tracker is used to obtain the gaze data and eye motion of the user, while the data is analyzed by the software and transferred to operational instructions. The user can change the moving direction of the power wheelchair, while the manipulator arm can grab an object for people. Overall, the robot-arm wheelchair is a used assistant tool for disable people.
