Abstract
This paper deals with the work on creating a robot assisted navigation system for the visually impaired people. The ability to see is an important gift that helps human beings to live their everyday lives, but not all people are blessed with this ability. The normal blind navigation devices deals with on-body devices that the user must carry, but this paper is talking about is a small rover that can be held by the user using a hanlde. The device will contain a raspberry pi module for taking data from a camera on-board to see the environment and make object and obstacle detection. The 4-WD rover will be controlled by an Arduino device which will be connected to the mobile of the user via a Bluetooth module. The user just has to say the name of the location he needs to go to by opening an application, the rest of the routing and transport will be done by the raspberry pi and Arduino.
Highlights
Many studies have shown that the number of visually impaired people who live in this world have kept on increasing
The work mentioned in this paper is that it combines the functions of the cane and the guide dog, it will help the user identify if there are any obstacles in Revised Manuscript Received on February 05, 2020. * Correspondence Author Vishnu Prasad S*, Final year M.Tech Student, Department of Electronics Engineering, Pondicherry University, Pondicherry, India, vishnuprasads.ec@gmail.com
The ultrasonic sensor will be placed on the car itself so no discomfort comes to the user, the mobile camera will be used to connect with the Raspberry pi using IP camera application, there is no need for a special camera just the user needs to keep the mobile on the handle attached so the
Summary
Front of him, it will notify the user of any potential threats like tree branches or other things, it will navigate him to the destination and it will notify him about the people he is encountering. The rest of the paper prepared according to the following: Section II describes some research related to the navigations techniques that exists today to help these people.
