    The document describes a smart blind stick created using an Arduino that aims to help visually impaired people live more independently. It discusses how technology can help neutralize disabilities, as exemplified by rock climber Hugh Herr. The smart blind stick uses ultrasonic sensors, an LDR, buzzer, LED, RF transmitter and receiver, and other components connected to an Arduino board to provide more functionality than a regular blind stick and allow visually impaired people to perform everyday tasks more easily. It requires basic electronic components like an Arduino Nano, ultrasonic sensor, LDR, buzzer, LEDs, resistors, capacitors, batteries, and an RF transmitter/receiver to function.

    Smart Blind Stick using Arduino

    Ever heard of Hugh Herr? He is a famous American rock climber who has shattered
    the limitations of his disabilities; he is a strong believer that technology could help
    disabled persons to live a normal life. In one of his TED talk Herr said “Humans are
    not disabled. A person can never be broken. Our built environment, our technologies,
    is broken and disabled. We the people need not accept our limitations, but can transfer
    disability through technological Innovation”. These were not just words but he lived
    his life to them, today he uses Prosthetic legs and claims to live to normal life. So yes,
    technology can indeed neutralize human disability; with this in mind let us use some
    simple development boards and sensors to build an ultrasonic blind walking stick
    using Arduino that could perform more than just a stick for visually impaired persons.

    Materials Required:
    Arduino Nano (Any version will work)

    Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04
