The Wheelchair is widely used all over the world to help the population with disabilities like hemiplegia, paraplegia and accidental case of the some persons, but with using technology we can further enhance the ability and the power of a mechanically based wheelchair to work as a robot for the disabled person. Using an Android application to control the wheelchair wirelessly because android phone now days are available to everyone, large number of population and other technologies are Xbee, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to communicate with the wheelchair wirelessly Xbee module was so efficient and easy to use for the user of the wheelchair and the range is also favorable to the disable person. Xbee Remote Controller also has been developed to control the wheelchair wirelessly that is so efficient to work with other Xbee modules for wireless communication. Ultrasonic sensor has been used to counter the obstacle in front of the wheelchair movement and prevent any hazardous accident for the user or the disable person and IR Sensor has been used to measure the distance of the obstacle and to counter the steps coming in front of the wheelchair
