Blind Stick

The document describes a smart stick system to assist blind people in detecting obstacles. The system uses an Arduino UNO, ultrasonic sensors to detect distances to obstacles within 400cm, a flame sensor to detect fires, and a water sensor. When obstacles are detected, the stick alerts the user with a buzzer or vibrator. In experiments, the ultrasonic sensors measured distances accurately 95% of the time. The system is designed to be affordable and light weight to help blind people navigate safely.

PROBLEM:
Obstacle detection is one of the major concerns for a fully or a partially blind
person (e.g. person suffering from night-blindness, cataracts, glaucoma,
albinism or injury).

Since sometimes blind people collide against high and moving obstacles, we
need obstacle-sensing function in front of the blind people.
SOLUTION:
We introduce a smart stick system for assisting blind people. The smart stick
comes as a proposed solution to enable visually impaired people to find
difficulties in detecting obstacles and dangers in front of them during walking
and to identify the world around. The system is designed to act like an artificial
vision and alarm unit. We seek in our project to provide a smart stick affordable
and suitable for most blind people, and also it is light in weight. It can be made
available to all segments of the society and their families who need them.

In experiments (with wood, concrete, plastic, etc as obstacles), the results reveal
distance measurement accuracy 95 % approximately.
COMPONENTS:
Arduino UNO
2 ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04)
Flame sensor (smoke sensor)
Water sensor
Buzzer
Vibrator

Specifications of ARDUINO UNO:
Microcontroller:ATmega328
Operating voltage:5V
Input Voltage:7-12V
Digital I/O pins:14
Analog input pins:6
Flash memory:32KB
SRAM:2KB
EEPROM:1KB
ARDUINO UNO:
Arduino uno is used in my project over any other version of Arduino?
WHY?

Arduino UNO and Nano are cheaper


Arduino Nano uses a mini cable
Arduino UNO uses a basic usb cable
The Nano, unlike the UNO, cannot connect to Arduino shields but it has pin
headers which make it useful for breadboard prototyping or in PCBs with the
use of a socket.
ULTRASONIC SENSOR:
Ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the object in front of the person .
 4 pins-ground, Vcc, trigger and Echo .
It ranging from 2cm to 400cm.
It has two opening –one is transmitter which is used to transmit the signal and
another one is receiver which is used to receive the signal.
 It sends ultrasound waves at high frequency and receive back the signal .
ADVANTAGES:
The system can be used both indoor and outdoor navigation.
Detects obstacles and alerts the blind person through vibration alert.
Even the person can get aware of the fire around him/her.
Any water puddle can be avoided.
