SMART STICK FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED
Project Area of Specialization Artificial IntelligenceProject SummarySmart stick is an innovative stick designed for visually impaired people for improved navigation. The stick is integrated with ultrasonic sensor along with light and water and GPS and GSM ,flame, sensing. Our proposed project first uses ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles ahead using ultrasonic waves. On sensing obstacles the sensor passes this data to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then processes this data and calculates if the obstacle is close enough. If the obstacle is not that close the circuit does nothing. If the obstacle is close the microcontroller sends a signal to sound a buzzer. It also detects and sounds a different buzzer if it detects water and alerts the blind. One more feature is that it allows the blind to detect if there is light or darkness in the room. The system has one more advanced feature integrated to help the blind find their stick if they forget where they kept it. A wireless rf based remote is used for this purpose. Pressing the remote button sounds a buzzer on the stick which helps the blind person to find their stick. Thus this system allows for obstacle detection as well as finding stick if misplaced by visually disabled people.blind person in a troubleshoot then press button to sent location back relative to recive it and check to the blind person location live and back end save location and help google map to achive destiation and tell flame and object distance and using camra to see object tell name of object.
Project ObjectivesThe main objective is to help visually impaired people to navigate with ease using advance technology. In this technology-controlled world, where people strive to live independently, this project proposes an ultrasonic stick for visually impaired people to help them gain personal independence. Since this is economical and not bulky, one can make use of it easily
Project Implementation MethodThe proposed system provides improvements to the existing system design. It tries to make the existing system more efficient, convenient and user- friendly. The implementation of the proposed design of the stick requires following hardware components:
- Ultrasonic sensors
- Infrared sensor
- Water sensor
- GPS module
- GSM module
- Arduino Uno Microcontroller Board
- Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2-8 Megapixel,1080p
- Google map Api
- Raspberry pi
- arduino uno
- ECG sensor
- temperature sensor
- heart beat sensor
The advantage of our project is that it can detect any obstacle with the help of ultrasonic sensors and it can provide correct location of obstacle by using the GPS system. Thus it will help visually impaired people when they are walking outside from their home.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableWe are going to develop a smart stick for visually impaired with attached sensors and friendly display.
