Design Wheelchair

I am a student doing b.tech in electrical and electronics.I am planning to do a project on a wheelchair which can be controlled using a joy stick as well as voice for the disabled.If any one can help me with the design ideas and the IC's and programs it will be a great help for me.

Ouch I hope you are up for a real struggle, a stick AND voice is a tall order. You are going to need to start with a DSP chip, I would recommend the TMS320, its a good processor. You are also going to need something for controlling your devices, that means an FPGA, (or a microcontroller of your choice like an ATMEL part). You are going to need a joystick actuator from APEM Components or someone else good, I would recommend the 2V17F1100 but it is expensive.
First thing is to gather your components and collect your wheelchair DC motor data, is it controlled by a word or a voltage? Write your VHDL program so that data comes in from the switch and goes out to the motor control board correctly. Then work on your DSP, you probabily want a look up table with 4 values so your voice can trigger one of the four commands.
again, good luck.

This video presents the design and testing of a modified wheelchair design. A custom fabricated bracket and pivot arm allow the drive wheel of a ...

could you please direct me to some good sites on line.

The main thing on the wheelchair ramp is for every 12" of run is to have 1" of fall.

I made a query on yahoo and pulled up the ADA specs below. If that doesn't work, query google for the ADA specs

Price: $65.00

Answer I'm looking for should lead me to something simple yet practical. Cost effective is a must.
I know where I can buy one, but I was thinking of making one, possibly out of a wheelchair or stroller.

I don't think any of them come cheap...staring around $200 (for a small breed), but I think they are all relatively the same idea:

It's a small price to pay for the happiness of your dog. They cost around $400 for my dogs' sizing...if one of them needed it; I'd get one in a heartbeat.

I have a project, where i need to make a device to help get a persons wheel chair into the car. If you were going to buy this product what would you be looking for?

Please provide more specific information:
What type of wheelchair?
What type of car?
Must the wheelchair definitely be inside the cabin of the car?
