It can be used by an elderly or physically challenged person to move inside the home without any difficulty. It’s common that the elders and the physically challenged people find it hard to move the wheel chair without external aid. By making use of HNS, elderly and the physically challenged can move to different locations in the particular house just by pronouncing the direction name or by making the movement of the android phone they will be provided with. It is also equipped with obstacle avoidance technique, where the person may not be able to provide proper command at the right time.
