In the era of automation, where everyone finds their convenience from different technologies, we are here with an idea of AI-based home automation for Paraplegia (Paralysis of legs & Lower body) Patients.
People suffering from Paraplegia cannot stand up on their own feet. Basic things like switching on lights & fans are difficult tasks for them.
So we, through our project, are trying to ease their routine through a machine learning-based method.
Hands and their gestures are a very integral part of our body. We are fusing gestures with machine learning to automate home appliances. Cameras will detect the distinct gestures resulting in switching on/off various applications used in our day to day life. For instance, we can program the system in such a way that when a peace symbol is detected, the fan turns on and when the whole palm is detected the fan will be turned off.
The first thing we faced when we are building this project was that our camera module was not detected so, we were getting an error "your camera module is not detected" we tried to solve this by different methods but in the end, we found that the camera module is not working properly so, we decided to use the webcam for camera input.
The second thing is that for now, this model is not detecting gestures. we tried to implement Artificial intelligence on this model but, due to lack of time we can't implement it, so we plan to implement Artificial intelligence on this so that it will work more accurately.
