Arduino Smart Blind Stick Synopsis

The document proposes developing an "Arduino Smart Blind Stick" using ultrasonic sensors, a water sensor, buzzer, and RF transmitter/receiver to detect obstacles for visually impaired individuals and alert them, as an improvement over existing walking sticks and guide dogs which have limitations; the project aims to allow independent navigation without needing someone's help by detecting objects within a range of 2cm-450cm and alerting the user via buzzer.

Topic : Arduino Smart Blind Stick.


Introduction : Visually impaired people are the people who finds it difficult to
recognize the smallest detail with healthy eyes. Those who have the visual
acuteness of 6/60 or the horizontal range of the visual field with both eyes open
have less than or equal to 20 degrees. These people are regarded as blind. A
survey by WHO (World Health Organization) carried out in 2011 estimates that in
the world, about 1% of the human population is visually impaired (about 70
million people) and amongst them, about 10% are fully blind (about 7 million
people) and 90% (about 63 million people) with low vision according to [1]. The
main problem with blind people is how to navigate their way to wherever they
want to go. Such people need assistance from others with good eyesight. As
described by WHO, 10% of the visually impaired have no functional eyesight at all
to help them move around without assistance and safely. The figure 1 below is a
chart showing the percent of blind people across the globe. This study proposes a
new technique for designing a smart stick to help visually impaired people that
will provide them navigation. The conventional and archaic navigation aids for
persons with visual impairments are the walking cane (also called white cane or
stick) and guide dogs which are characterized by a many imperfections. The most
critical shortcomings of these aids include: essential skills and training phase,
range of motion, and very insignificant information communicated been
communicated. Our approach modified this can with some electronics
components and sensors, the electronic aiding devices are designed to solve such
issues. The ultrasonic sensors, water sensor, buzzer, and RF transmitter/Receiver
are used to record information about the presence of obstacles on the road.
Ultrasonic sensor have the capacity to detect any obstacle within the distance
range of 2cm-450cm. Therefore whenever there is an obstacle in this range it will
alert the user. Water sensor is used to detect if there is water in path of the user.
Most blind guidance systems use ultrasound because of its immunity to the
environmental noise. With the rapid advances of modern technology both in
hardware and software it has become easier to provide intelligent navigation
system to the visually impaired.

Hardware Requirement :

 Arduino UNO or NANO


 Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04
 Solderless Breadboard
 Buzzer
 LED
 Resistors
 Push Button
 9V Battery
 Jumper Wire

Software Requirements :

 Arduino IDE

About Project : After looking at Blind people in Street pleasing people


about help, I thought about this project. And also got a lot of reference
from Internet.
Working Principle : When any thing come across the Ultrasonic sensor
in set Range, It will start the buzzer and the one with the stick will get to
know that someone thing is in the front.

It will be very usefull for them, i.e they will not require any one’s help.
Its Range can be set anytime as per the need.
