Abstract: This paper presents the virtual helper bot for mind controlled wheel chair with speech interpretation and recognition interface for the physically challenged people. The design, architecture and a system concept to provide a smart electronic aid for physically challenged people are proposed here. The objective of this paper is to provide an efficient bot that answers simple technical and general questions using a Speech Interpretation and Recognition Interface (SIRI) . The bot is attached to a Mind Controlled wheel chair that operates by processing of the Mind Wave signals. This enables to provide virtual assistance to the disabled person using it. The proposed device uses an electro-encephalography (EEG) kit to interface the signals from the brain. This EEG signal is then read by the NeuroSky Mind Wave Reader to detect blink, attention and meditation level which are further used to drive the wheelchair. The Query Search Module is implemented using an Artificial Intelligence Interface and a USB Microphone. The prototype consists of a wheel chair with Arduino board, sensors and Raspberry Pi development board. The proposed wheel chair helps the physically challenged people to overcome mobility impairment
