Abstract: The creation of an Intelligent Assistive Cane to improve the safety and mobility of people with vision impairments is presented in this paper. To provide real-time obstacle identification and navigation guidance, the cane combines a number of state-of-the-art technologies, such as ultrasonic sensors, a buzzer, voice aid, and a vibration motor. To identify impediments within a certain range, ultrasonic sensors are positioned strategically on the cane. The buzzer emits an audible alert upon detection, and the vibration motor provides haptic feedback to direct the user toward safe routes. Voice help also provides spoken directions and alerts, enabling the user to confidently traverse their environment.By combining these technologies, the cane can recognize impediments like walls, poles, and stairs with accuracy and send out signals in a timely manner. For those who are visually challenged, this creative method greatly lowers the chance of accidents and enhances their general quality of life.
