Diseño y construcción de un bastón guía para ayuda en la movilidad de personas no videntes.

Abstract

In the present project of curricular integration, a guide cane was developed that will be used to help the mobility of blind people. This prototype has two operation modes, the first mode is to be used in small or indoor spaces, and the second mode is for large or outdoor spaces, both modes are similar, only a different detection distance is set, the user receives information through audio messages played through a single-ear headset. In order to meet the objectives of this project, first the collection of information from similar electronic systems is developed so that the most relevant characteristics of them that can be used in this work are determined, in chapter one is the information about sensors, actuators and the generating routes algorithm for mobile robots of potential fields that will be useful for the development of this project. In chapter two, the design of all the hardware and software of the prototype is presented. Finally, in chapter 3, the tests carried out on the prototype are presented to people, in which their age range is between 22 to 64 years, one of them is a person who is blind.
