Desarrollo de un sistema de detección de obstáculos con estabilización dinámica para bastones de personas no videntes.

Abstract

According to statistical data from the National Council for the Equality of Disabilities of Ecuador, there are 11.75% of people with visual impairment, for these people moving independently represents a challenge. This article proposes a programmable electronic prototype attached to a cane that detects obstacles using infrared sensors stabilized with a gimbal system that sends a signal to the control module activating vibrators that alert the blind person the presence of an obstacle and thus take the necessary precautions to move safely in different environments without the need for a companion or a guide.
