Abstract –The project describes ultrasonic blind walking stick with the use of Arduino UNO. According to World Health Organization (WHO), 30 million people are permanently blind and 2.85 million people with low vision. If you notice them, you can very well know about them. They have to face more struggles in their daily life. Using this blind stick, a person can walk more confidently. This stick detects the object in front of the person and gives response to the user by signal to the buzzer so, the person can walk without any fear. This device will be best solution to overcome their difficulties in this project we have used Arduino UNO, ultrasonic sensor which detects the obstacles, to help the blind people to find obstacle free path. When the object is detected near to the blinds’ stick it alerts them with the help of buzzer. For the improvement and safety of the blind people, a variety of electronic tools and different technologies have been used.
