ABSTRACT


The microcontroller based obstacle detector is an intelligent safety system

developed to alert and protect visually impaired persons from obstacles and

possible accident. The system is intended to provide overall measures: Artificial

vision, object detection and real-time assistance. This device is constructed in a

way to detect obstacles on the way within a distance of one meter from the device


and consist of a proximity sensor, dual feedback system which includes a sub-

circuit consisting of a vibratory system circuit and an audio system. The system


also consists of rnicrocontrol Icr, capacitors, resistors, transistors; compatible

battery (DC) and other electrical components carefully assembled on a Vero board

with a jumper which in turn gives the desired result of obstacle detection using the

principle of reflection.
