Abstract

Under the trends of intelligent automation, more and more intelligent products into our lives, these products are changing our life now in the background. Therefore, we designed a smart cane device the device adopts the embedded system, using the Arduino microcontroller design a set of portable intelligent auxiliary tools, which can provide the blind with corresponding voice prompts such as obstacle avoidance, and monitor the blind's travel location through GPS and GSM modules. At the same time, the device is equipped with one-button emergency communication function, enabling the blind to travel safely and conveniently.
