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.

Contact GF Strong Rehabilitation Center in Vancouver BC. They've been working on asistance for the handicap for decades.

I'm building a tank-like robot, and i'm buying a pair of wheelchair motors. I was wondering if these motors require the motor controller that was originally on the wheelchair? I'm going to buy some controllers for the tank (that control the flow of electricity from an input signal given by the remote). Would these controllers need to be linked through the original controller or just to the motors?
It depends what you want to achieve.
For sure the motor controllers provide a great deal of things you want, but reverse engineered-it to modify it for your goal may be quite a challenge.
It’s like asking do you need a transmission on a car.
There are many vehicles like lawn mowers and tractors that do not have a transmission!
Hope this properly answers your question

Find the largest powerchair dealer in your area and ask them if they have a used, rebuilt, or other cheap controller. My vendor usually has a bucket of them they use as loaners while the real controllers are rebuilt.
Also, ask any organization that collects chairs for re-distribution, such as Presbyterian Outreach. They often have piles of odd parts laying around.

Electric wheelchair convert to bed

Electric wheelchair users may have independence while they are moving about in the day. However, there is still an aspect of their live which require external assistance from caregivers, that is the transfer of the wheelchair user from his electric wheelchair to bed at the end of the day. Most accidents that happened to wheelchair users are caused by the users as a result of trying to move from their electric wheelchairs to their beds. Users will move their electric wheelchairs by the side of the side of the bed and use their hands to support themselves onto the bed. This is a very dangerous act as a slip of the hands can cause the user to tumble out of his wheelchair and onto the floor. The consequence will be unthinkable if there are no family or friends at home to render immediate assistance. Fortunately, all these unnecessary accidents are a thing of the past with the invention of a new electric wheelchair to bed conversion machine. This is actually invented by Panasonic, a Japanese company. This state of the art machine actually is an all-in-one facility for the wheelchair users. It brings to the wheelchair users a new dimension of life and more importantly, electric wheelchair users can relish in their new found independence. This latest innovative product aims to address the problem of the aging population in Japan where the increased number of people over 60s is putting a strain on the health care industry. As people age, many lose their ability to walk and have to rely on wheelchairs for the remaining part of their lives. The low birth rate in Japan compounds the problem as there is a smaller number of people replacing the retired and taking care of their parents. The health worker to patient ratio is getting higher as a result. This new robotic bed integrates many human robot technologies that are a hallmark of Japanese innovations. The intuitive controls make the machine easy to operate for the aged and disabled. No training is required as transformation from electric wheelchair to bed is at the touch of a button. The interactive surface has other controls that can communicate with household appliances such as TV and security cameras. The electric wheelchair users can remain on his seat the whole time during the transformation process. When it is in the bed mode and converting to electric wheelchair, the upper half of the bed rises to form a back support while the lower half lowers to become leg rest. A motorized unit under the bed then slides out along with the bed to power the electric wheelchair. As this is happening, the curved canopy over the capsule like machine rises. It is a relief to electric wheelchair users as this innovative equipment pushes them towards greater independence and I am confident the adoption rate, provided the price is right, will be high amongst the wheelchair population. In the future, even used electric wheelchairs can be converted to fit into the machine too.
