Researchers Create Face-Controlled WheelchairThe Wheelie
The World's First Face-Controlled WheelchairWhat if you could drive your wheelchair with facial expressions?
Gestures such as smiling, kissing, and raising your eyebrows can be translated into commands such as move forward, turn left or right, and stop. The system accurately detects facial expressions, maneuvering the wheelchair in real-time. No body sensor or training is needed, enhancing the autonomy and self-esteem of people with disabilities.
More than mobility
Autonomy and self-esteem: the Wheelie allows people with movement-limiting conditions to get their autonomy back.9 facial expressions
Choose five of nine available facial expressions to control the motorized wheelchair.

HOOBOX Robotics
Using 3D technology and Artificial Intelligence, HOOBOX creates systems for monitoring people and detecting their behaviors in the health, transportation, security, and retail sectors.
We believe we can take advantage of a person’s best abilities to counteract limitations, not only improving mobility and autonomy, but also enhancing self-esteem.
To develop 'The Wheelie' we had to create next-generation facial analysis capable of detecting facial expressions more accurately regardless of light conditions. The precision is so high that we can start to detect human behavior, such as drowsiness, 10 level of pain, agitation/sedetation levels, and spasms. We can even detect when a person will sneeze before sneezing.

Gimme: the Gripper.
A Joystick is a great tool, but it is not for everyone. Driving an electric-powered wheelchair with the hands is not always possible. In such cases, a robotic wheelchair with onboard computers providing a hands-free interface is required. Gimme can robotize an electric wheelchair with just one piece of hardware.
