Rancang Bangun Prototipe Alat Bantu Pendukung Mobilitas bagi Tunanetra Menggunakan Sensor Time Of Flight Berbasis Arduino

Abstract

White cane isn’t effective in fully supporting visually impairment person. Prototypes of supporting assistive tools reduce the problems of the mobility process. It acts as a stick companion in providing a more independent mobility process. Time of Flight (ToF) sensors in supporting assistive tools measure the distance of objects with Arduino as the microcontroller. The median filter algorithm would provide a more stable and reduce the sensor’s MAPE value up to 2,5%. This research produces gloves and shoes with vibration response and voice message with warning information as the prototypes. The prototype also has a mobile application for setting the distance to the prototype.
