Smart Cane for Blind People

Abstract: Through this paper, we are proposing to introduce a smart blind people's stick system for helping the blind community. The system is a suggested solution to enable visually impaired communities to detect obstacles in their path and hazards in front of them while walking. It consists of an ultrasonic sensor, a piezo-buzzer, and a microcontroller (Arduino Uno R3) which will receive the signal from the ultrasonic sensors and transforms it into short pulses to the pins in the microcontroller where the piezo-buzzer is connected. Through this project, our aim is to provide unique and cheap solutions in the form of a stick to the blind community and aid them in their day-to-day tasks. Because of its affordability, it can be made readily available to blind organizations and people in need.
