This study aims to develop a tool that can be used to detect obstacles for blind people. This tool also uses the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor. The method used in the manufacture of blind assistive prototypes in the form of sticks using Arduino and Ultrasonic Sensors for blind people with the method obtained by hardware design techniques used consists of ATMEGA328 as the main controller, Ultrasonic sensor HS-SRF04 as detecting objects and LM2596 Regulator modules used for lowering the DC voltage level, this study has produced a prototype design stick for blind people using sensor technology to help alert and move blind people who are able to detect objects at a minimum distance of 7 centimeters with output in the form of sound and vibration. The resulting stick has a frame consisting of 0.5-inch PVC material consisting of two parts, the stick rod and the sensor unit.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
