Abstract: The present invention relates to an head-motion controlled wheelchair system (100) designed for individuals with severe mobility impairments. The system comprises head-motion sensors (2) mounted on an adjustable headgear (8) to detect multi-axis head movements, which are processed by an embedded control module executing real-time gesture classification algorithms. The classified gestures are converted into motion commands to control wheelchair motors (4) via pulse-width modulation. A mobile application communicates with the system through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, enabling configuration, monitoring, and emergency intervention. The system includes a rechargeable power supply (6) and an obstacle detection mechanism to ensure operational safety. The modular design allows adaptability, while the low-cost implementation ensures accessibility for users in resource-limited settings. The invention offers an intuitive, hands-free, and customizable mobility solution, enhancing independence and control for users unable to operate conventional wheelchairs. The figure associated with the abstract is Fig. 1.
