Smart Walking Stick with Fall detector

There are many aged people in our surrounding. They can’t walk without the help of other people of the society. One has to ask guidance to reach their destination. They have to face more struggles in their daily life. Today technology is growing to a greater extent, however there is no cost-effective device for aged people. The history of walking stick can be traced far back when the simple wooden stick was used by human for support. James Biggs of Bristol claims to have invented the walking stick in the year 1921. For an aged person it becomes difficult to do his/her day-to-day activities, therefore Smart walking stick can help people in moving and allowing them to perform their work easily, during walking in the street, which makes it very dangerous. GPS is used which tells the user about his current location. Keywords: Fall detector, Stick, GPS, GSM Module, LDR sensor, Torch.

Alone at Christmas

I longedto give you a gift,a pearlof great price.Craftedwithin my wounds and nourishedwith body and blood, the pearl grewlovely and luminous. Tenderly wrapped in gentle huesthe lovely blues of sky and sea,it waited beneath the Christmas tree.Christmas came and went.You were busy. I understand.I always do. The tree and I continued sitting by the window with smiling fairy lights on.Then it was Lent, and I had to put awaythat old tree.The neighbours were sniggering you see.But the pearl and I, we sat waitingfor you, my beloved, Prodigal daughter. And then you came! and I ran,holding my walking stick and your gift. You opened the silken blue box, saying,“Beautiful, thank you!” But then you saw that Graceful glow and stopped, “No, I can’t take this.” “Please,” I begged. “It was made for you with all thatI Am.”“But I am not worthy,”you whispered. Only then,My heart broke,and I wept.

DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION AND TESTING OF A SMART STATIC AND DYNAMIC OBSTACLE WALKING STICK WITH EMF DETECTOR FOR THE BLINDS USING MCU AND CONTROLLING SOFTWARE

Smart static and dynamic obstacle walking stick with EMF detector is an upgraded smart stick designed for blind people for optimal navigation and electrical safety. An advanced blind stick prototype that allows visually challenged people to navigate walking paths and identify electronic gadgets with ease using modern technologies is hereby developed. The blind stick is integrated with ultrasonic sensor along with an EMF detector. This prototype first uses ultrasonic sensors to sense obstacles ahead using ultrasonic waves. On sensing obstacles, the sensor directs this data to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then processes this data and examine if the obstacle is close enough. If the obstacle is not that close the circuit does nothing. If the obstacle is close the microcontroller sends a signal to sound a buzzer. One more feature is that it allows the blind to detect the presence of EMF (electromagnetic field/electromagnetic waves) in the region he/she is, if there is, the microcontroller also sends a signal to a vibration motor (i.e. the output is in form of vibration), and if otherwise, the circuit does not trigger and thus, the vibration motor does nothing. The results obtained from the measurements have shown that this project work is optimally working and indeed operative.

Smart Ultrasonic Walking Stick for Visually Impaired People

The study focus on a simple method of detecting the obstacle and route by using an ultrasonic sensor that can detect a hole or stair with maximum range about 2 meter. As we can see Blind people is having their trouble to do their life routines because they can’t see even a single things. With our idea, we want to help this kind of people to live their life freely. This ultrasonic blind stick have a several feature that surely can help this blind people to navigate routes and detect an obstacle that surely can make their life routines easier. The user just need to use the blind the normal blind stick , the different is , blind people can detect a hole or stair more faster and easily. Besides that, guardian or user of the blind waking stick can find their stick by remote if they misplaced them.
