3) Smart Assistance System for the Visually Impaired:
Physical movement is one of the biggest challenges for the visually impaired. People with complete
blindness or low vision often have a difficult time in self-navigating unfamiliar environments. Traveling
or simply walking down a crowded street may pose great difficulty. So, many people with low vision
tend to bring a sighted friend or family member for assistance. It also becomes difficult for them to keep
a track of their routine environments. Systems should be proposed based on technologies like Image
processing, Speech processing etc., so the problems faced by blind people can be reduced to certain
extent.

1) Design and implementation of brain-computer interface for electric wheelchairs with
EEG and eye-blinking signals:
Brain Computer Interface (BCI) offers direct correspondence and controlling channel between the
human mind and different physical gadgets. This project aims to introduce a Wheel chair controlled by
Human Brain, designed for patients, for example who people can't utilize physical interfaces like
joysticks or buttons. This system offers immense advantages to patients who are limited to wheelchairs
however have their cognitive capability intact. The electroencephalogram (EEG) signals will be extracted
and prepared using Microcontroller and grouped with machine learning strategies.

2) Assistive Navigation System design for Vision Impairers:

More than 253 million individuals worldwide experience the ill effects of vision impairment. The aim of
the project is to design a portable electronic tool and develop novel algorithms, based on deep learning
and artificial intelligence that enables vision impaired patients to perform navigations tasks. The
targeted tasks include to find pedestrian path in crowded places, to escape from obstacles and hazards
and recognizing related landmarks. The targets achieved in this project can be use further for self-driving
vehicles, and self-governing robots.
