ABSTRACT:
This project aims toward developing a smart stick powered by artificial intelligence that can detect obstructions and allows blind people to move safely. For example it can sense and determine if there is water or any other hurdle in front of them, it also features a GPS tracking feature to find the person using it in case if they lost somewhere, its AI-based technology can detect potholes on the road, protecting the blind person from any tragic event. The system relies on a Microcontroller circuit for its features. Our technology recognizes everything within a set range using ultrasound detectors and produces a sound on detecting something within that range. Another important component of the system is that it allows the blind person to send a text message of their geographical location to the family/caretaker whoever is nearby the person if they ever experience an issue of being lost.
