Enhancement of ergonomic wearable chair with voice controlled using Raspberry pi

Abstract

Ergonomics is the designing of products and systems that suit a range of people who use them. The Ergonomically designed wearable chair ensures the ability of the user to sit and stand anywhere. It provides the convenience and required posture for their workplace thereby overcoming disabilities caused due to long hours of standing and sitting. This device increases the efficiency of the user by reducing tiredness, pain in the lower back, leg and ankle region. Enhancing the wearable device with voice control will facile the operation of the system and provide automatic control over the device. The chair is wearable due to its exoskeleton-like design and portable due to its lightweight arrangement. This paper elaborately explains the design, mechanism, and application of the wearable ergonomic chair with voice automation. Future developments and challenges are also discussed in this paper.
