Abstract
The Cane is a hand-held device that assists blind or visually impaired people to navigate
independently. The smart walking stick helps the blind people toperform navigation and to do
their work easily and comfortably. In normal stick, the detection of the obstacle is not done
and normal stick is not efficient for visually impaired person, because the blind person does not
know what type of things or what type of the objects come in front of them. The person cannot
recognize what is the size of that object and how far it is from the object. It is difficult for the
blind person to move here and there. In smart walking stick, ultrasonic sensor is used to detect
the obstacle. When the obstacle becomes detected camera becomes on and the object is detected
with the help of a camera. If any obstacle comes in front of blind person, they can know about
the obstacle by hearing the sound generated by the microphone. A person with blindness can
easily detect obstacles on ground, surface textures, pot holes etc. while travelling with a standard
white cane. However cane cannot detect overhanging objects like tree branches, sign boards,
open glass windows, etc. Also, at times using a white cane could result in scratching a parked
vehicle with a cane, bumping into another person, etc. This Cane is designed to vibrate when
detecting obstacles and identify objects with artificial intelligence, allowing users the ability to
understand what objects are around them, where they are located, and even how they appear.
