Integrated AI Based Smart Wearable Assistive Device for Visually and Hearing-Impaired People

An Intelligent Robotics Device (IRD) is developed in order help the disabled people and elderly people with day-to-day activities. The system offers five main functions: obstacle detection and avoidance through bone conduction, live tracking, GPS navigation, GSM SOS alert system and AI based image and face recognition System. It works with a combination of ultrasonic detection and bone conduction, detecting obstacles and letting the user know about them. To assure safe mobility, the product offers some core features namely, GPS live tracking and GPS navigation. GPS live tracking feature is useful in case if any of the user's relative wants to continuously monitor the movements of the blind user. The GSM - SOS alert system is included in the product, which comes into handy when the user finds any exigencies while travelling with just a push of button, the SOS alert system will send customized help request SMS along with location link to their career. GPS navigation system sends alert vibrations regarding the directions to be taken for navigating from one place to another. Those alerts are conveyed to the user through bone conduction phones. Finally, AI-facial and image recognition feature is also included which helps the blind to distinguish between known person and unknown person. All the electronic components which support these features are assembled and embedded on a wearable vest for ease of access.
