Part-financed by the European Regional Development Fund 6 New student: Osman Rakibet The use of stretchable RFID tag will give an opportunity to patient to control the wheelchair without a joystick. RFID tag brings another advantage, all the process will be done wirelessly. While the RFID reader is placed onto the wheelchair, the distance of chip from the reader will stay roughly the same all the time and won’t cause any connection problems. Placing RFID tag to certain places of body such as wrist, will give a patient to be able to control the wheelchair by a small movement of his body. By designing two port structure, change in X and Y axis can be assigned to special commands for controlling the wheelchair. Frequency Management Progress
