The main purpose of this paper is to create an autonomous solution for visually impaired individuals. Although the traditional white cane serves as a guide, it doesn't guarantee complete safety or obstacle detection process for the blind. There's a risk of potential hazards not detected by the cane, posing a threat to the user's safety. Therefore, a new blind assistive system is proposed and developed. This system integrates an ultrasonic sensor module with an Arduino Uno board attached to the user's cane. As the user navigates forward, the sensor detects obstacles in the path.

摘要

The main purpose of this paper is to create an autonomous solution for visually impaired individuals. Although the traditional white cane serves as a guide, it doesn't guarantee complete safety or obstacle detection process for the blind. There's a risk of potential hazards not detected by the cane, posing a threat to the user's safety. Therefore, a new blind assistive system is proposed and developed. This system integrates an ultrasonic sensor module with an Arduino Uno board attached to the user's cane. As the user navigates forward, the sensor detects obstacles in the path. Upon detecting an obstacle, the sensor triggers the receiver, signaling the microcontroller. The microcontroller interprets this signal, allowing the system to alert the user through vibrations or auditory cues. This innovation aims to provide a safer and more reliable navigation method for visually impaired individuals, mitigating potential risks encountered during travel.
