Boy invents wheelchair for his grandfather

"My grandfather hates it when somebody tries to help him with his daily chores or holds his hand to help him walk. I am sure there are many more like him. I wanted to do something for them," said Ashutosh.

The wheelchair works by obeying to four basic commands that allow the person to move right, left, forward and reverse directions. It also can detect obstacles in its path and stop when it reaches a staircase.

"It senses unevenness on the floor, near a staircase and stops, ensuring the safety of the person using it," the inventor explained.

The device has a battery, a voice processor and microships. It is capable of bearing the weight of a person up to 80kg, costing Rs 20,000. The engine and battery can be adjusted according the person’s weight.

Ashtosh doesn’t want to make profit out of his invention, and he has been asking for people’s advice in order to improve it according to people who will need it the most.
