Abstract

White canes are an ideal choice for blind person to do independent mobility because of its relatively cheap price. However, whitecane has the disadvantage of only being able to identify objects in front of it when they have been touched and cannot provide a choice of direction. This study developed a prototype whitecane with a feature that can provide a choice of direction based on the results of identifying the distance of the object to its user. This prototype was designed and implemented using two ultrasonic sensors installed on the stick as a replacement for the spatial sensing system. Both distance data from the sensors are processed in the Arduino Nano microcontroller to carry out the Fuzzy process stages. Fuzzy input process, rule-based Fuzzy inference, and Defuzzification for decision output. The results of the decision are translated into voice information to the user. Experiments with three scenarios showed that the utilization of the system with constant contact O&M technique showed a success rate of 100% while the other two techniques were only 33.3%. So the constant contact O&M technique can support effective mobility for the use of assistive aids and can be developed into a new technique.

Abstract

This research developed, designed, and implemented a cane prototype with the ability to identify spatial conditions, which can help the mobility of blind people in the form of decision information on choosing a path that is free from obstacles. The electronic space sensing system uses ultrasonic-type non-contact/non-visual sensors. Ultrasonic sensors are installed at three points: left, front, and right (L, F, R) of the stick. When the stick swings left-right or vice versa, each sensor will produce an array of distance data and then average it. The average distance of each point is calculated by the Left Side Square Area (LSSA) and Right Side Square Area (RSSA). The LSSA and RSSA values ​​are used as fuzzy input, a fuzzy inference process is carried out using a rule base, and defuzzification is used for decision output on the microcontroller. The system translates the decision results into sound (beep) and vibration information for the user. The results of the second experiment with blind people in two different scenarios show that the system can be an effective support during mobility in the hall and is a feasible prototype for training blind people with new O&M techniques towards the use of travel aids.
