Abstract

Individuals who suffer from loss or running out of vision cannot be active without relying on others and in order to make them independent and rely on themselves in the movement and to move freely be through a smart assistant. Smart Assistant is a Muscovite stick that can be used by the blind to avoid obstacles such as barriers, drilling, locating the blind and the parking brake. This proposed new design for the blind sticks is characterized by the use of the detector distance of ultrasonic tones and places are different in severity whenever the defect or limits the user whether the barrier or barrier as easily as can detect obstacles, potholes can determine the location of the user by sending a message to specify its location in an emergency. Such animals are called Electronic Travel Aids (ETA). The new design consists of an ultrasonic sensor, Arduino, a GSM chip, a vibrator, buzzer and a chargeable battery and headphone. The aim of this project is to build a sightless man stick that can detect obstacles, potholes and thus facilitate the blind person travel independently. The intellect of the general system is to provide a depressed price and well-organized navigation aid for blind, which conveys a sense of artificial vision by providing information about the environmental situation of static and dynamic objects around them.
