INTRODUCTION
Living in this world where there are many situation where human who lost abilities of their
body whether from accident, old age or naturally after birth, some of the common defect of
human body is blind and visually impaired. Human with this defect will hope to gain any help
to cope with their disability, with the help they can start living almost normally as the normal
human. The abilities to walk without worrying the obstacles, to safely walking without being
collide with other people when dark and to call for help easily when there is some accident.
However this kind of help couldn’t be achieve by relying on normal tools such as blind stick
and walking cane, the limitation on normal tools cut out the chance for needed people to obtain
the normal lifestyle. The normal tools can only be use manually by the user, when the visually
impaired user want avoid or indicate the obstacle the stick is swing manually until it hit the
obstacle and the user feel it. There are an easy way for the user to detect and avoid the obstacle.
The other issues is because of the current product of smart stick, the price of the smart stick is
overkill to people who can’t purchase expensive stuff. This problem could be solve by creating
a new product of walking cane and blind stick combing together, the product will able to help
the elderly support their body when walking and also can help the visually impaired person to
overcome their disability from the help of smart component implement on the smart walking
stick. This new product will be build using basic electronic component and sensor which is
cheaper compare to high end build from others

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Smart Walking Stick is a product developed to become a tool that can help any people
that need it. The aim for this product is to help any people with eye problem including elderly
to start walking again using latest technology on sensor and micro controller. The main goal of
this helping tool is to support needed people without any complexity on using the product and
feel natural when using it. In addition, this tool also can notify other people or any medical
assistance when the user use the emergency button. The notification send from this product to
the responsible party can immediately respond and act according to the suitable action.
This product feature in term of performance is it can detect and alert the user when there is
any obstacle appear in front of the user and the user can avoid the obstacle. This system also
used latest technology, which is micro controller an Arduino Uno. This smart controller is the
main brain for the product technology where it control all the system from the sensor to
receiver and transmitter, this kind of technology is Important to make sure there is no
complication on the system as the system can be alter and fix using the micro controller thus
making it more systematic and clean. To summarise the system use in this product is easy to
understand without any complication as the function already set to its own output. Finally, the
other function of this tool is it can detect and alert when the smart stick is away from the user,
so the user can easily locate the smart stick and acquire it.
The design and safety for this tool is also considered during the development of this
product. The sensor and wires will be covered properly in other to avoid any short circuit thus
damaging the system. The smart walking stick also install with emergency light where it
respond to the surrounding, for example when the outside is dark or room is dark the embedded
LDR light will respond and turn on to alert other about the user for safety reason. In term of
durability and costing this product are using high quality product with fair price. For example
the ultrasonic sensor HC-SR04 which is using the latest technology with a reasonable price and
durable. The software used for the project is Arduino where the software itself is free to use.

TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
Figure 2.1 shown the flow for this project the start to end. The system start when the
user use and turn on the smart walking stick, from here there is two possible output. The first
output is when the user lost the smart walking stick; the user can use the remote to indicate the
location for the stick by using sound. When the user push the button the transmitter inside the
remote will send signal to receiver inside the smart walking stick an thus trigger the buzzer in
the stick, the buzzer then will produce beeping sound and the sound can be hear by the user.
For this function, the user should hold the remote every time so it can serve it purposes. The
other output is when user run across any obstacle, the ultrasonic inside the walking stick will
detect the obstacle and signal the data to micro controller Arduino Nano and then trigger the
buzzer, The sound of the buzzer will beeping through several frequency. When the obstacle is
far from the user the buzzer will beep in slow frequent beeping sound as the obstacle approach
frequent become faster, this motion will most likely alert the user affectively[1].

2.2 PROTOTYPE DESCRIPTION
Base on figure 2.2, the smart walking stick consist of several part of component, which
is sliding mechanism, safety button, remote, and sensor box. The sliding mechanism in this
project is use to reduce the space use to place the walking stick, the stick can be shorten because
of the section of the stick. The stick is separate with 3 section from bigger to medium then
smaller, using the sliding mechanism the section of the stick can slide within each other thus
shorten the stick length. There also a locking unit to lock the stick from suddenly sliding.
The safety button is use to send signal from the stick to the desire receiver such as smart
phone, this function can alert the wellbeing of the user as the button only can be use at
emergency. The location for the button is place at the handle as the handle is the most use place
for the hand to be put at, the button can be easily push whenever there is emergency.
Remote is use to indicate the location for the stick, the design for the remote is small
and easy to held as the inner component only consist of small part. The remote only have one
button which to serve purpose to indicate the walking stick only.
Sensors box is use to detect light and obstacle then notify the user using sound from
buzzer. The sensors is put in the box because the box can save the sensors from the surrounding
environment such as sun heat, water and rain. The box is design to not leave any space for
water to come in.

A walking stick or walking cane is a device
used primarily to aid walking, provide
postural stability or support, or assist in
maintaining a good posture, but some
designs also serve as a fashion accessory, or
are used for self-defences.

CONCLUSION
As a conclusion this project are meant to be a newer or an upgraded version of the older
drain cleaner technology. From the interview with the medical company all party agree by
upgrading the old walking stick and implement it with technology, it will most likely provide
more help to needed people. The function of this product on finding the walking stick when
user lose it really help them to lighter up then load on daily basis. Technology on ultrasonic
really is the game changer as it surely could assist user to enjoy their daily walk. The design of
the product is also good as the it is compact and function on sliding the stick really help om
minimizing the space to put the smart walking stick. The component use to create this product
is surely cheap but have a good quality, the box design also will prolong the component
lifetime.
