“…The main demerit with this model is that the SMS can provide inaccurate information if the GPS module does not receive a satellite signal. [2] This research aims to offer a technique that enables visually impaired people to avoid surrounding obstacles without grasping sticks or other heavy objects. The system used RGB data from a micro-controller and a smart phone to calculate the smoothness of the surface in both light and dark conditions.…”

People who are blind today must deal with several challenges in their daily lives. Using a blind stick to direct them and a buzzer to inform them with beeps is the new strategy that is presented in this system to assist them. Any object, including impediments, might be easily located with the use of an ultrasonic sensor. They could message a relative in case of any issues. In order to assist people who are blind or visually impaired, the "IoT based blind stick" project is proposed. This proposed system is implemented using Renesas. An IoT project is useful for the blind person and sensors are also connecting to a blind stick. They can use this stick for safe walk and they could move from one place to another place.

A device made to help visually challenged people navigate their surroundings using image processing and the Internet of Things. Traditional walking aids are ineffective at detecting impediments, making it challenging for blind people to move around on their own. Obstacles are identified by the smart walking stick's camera and ultrasonic sensor, which also calculate the user's distance from the object. A sound is produced in the user's headphones when an obstruction is identified, alerting them to the obstacle. For visually impaired people who might need assistance navigating their environment, this technology is a useful aid. The stick has a camera that takes pictures of the surrounding area. These pictures are subsequently analyzed using image processing algorithms to find barriers and other important details. The stick is also linked to the Internet of Things (IoT), which enables it to interact with other devices and offer further functionality.

“…Besides, the proposed system allows monitoring of the user area by employing the GSM and GPS. Swain et al [19], proposed a mobile stick where the parts utilized in the designed framework are an Arduino Uno microcontroller for preparing the signal from various sensors, pair of ultrasound sensors to recognize impediments, and an Infrared sensor for stairs identification. GPS-GSM components are likewise used to discover the area of the blind that will help with giving their area data with an enrolled contact on a cell phone.…”

Present-day advancements in embedded systems have uncovered a wide area of innovation in inexpensive supportive systems for the visually impaired. Right from the uncomplicated white cane up to the most exceptional electronic walking stick, many designs have been proposed aiming at assisting and protecting visually challenged persons. This paper aims at contributing to these assistive aids by designing a bamboo stick sensor-based unit with ultrasonic and water detection sensors which is robust, cheap, and easily operated for the deprived blind person. Thus, improving the usefulness of the current white stick to consolidate both above-knee and below-knee deterrent identifications. The developed bamboo stick simply operates using ultrasound sensors for sensing the impediments before contact and a water detection sensor for water detection on the pathway. It offers vibration and different sound feedbacks to the operator per the spot of the obstacle. The results obtained by trial from a volunteer who walked an obstructed path blindfolded were excellent. The results ensure quick detection, safety and enhance the speed of mobility of the user. The simulations performed were accurate and relevant to the ultimate goal of the paper. The electronic bamboo walking stick developed can be used to guide the visually impaired in an indoor or outdoor environment.
