Abstract

The basic problems of blind persons in doing independent activities from one place to another are the mapping of trips to go and home navigation. The use of the conventional, electronic stick or previous research is still lacking. The results of research on localization of positions and mapping for inside and outside the room are still inaccurate. GPS (Global Position System)/GSM (Global System for Mobile)-based electronic aids are constrained by their use in building spaces, weather, accuracy, and limited areas. Information on the latitude-longitude position of at least 3 points of the satellite signal is not perfectly captured indoors due to the faraday cage factor. The signal capture of the device is affected by electromagnetic waves due to bad weather and the accuracy of the device is ± 15 m. And deliberate randomization of signals in a limited area for secret purposes (security, government). Zigbee-based electronic tools, wireless, visible LED Light, and limited fingerprint with localization results that are too large, so that the points from one another are too far. The focus of this research is developing a stick assist (whitecan) feature that can provide route information directions independently. Data of points traveling away generated from a combination of IMU (inertial-measurement-unit) sensors and a compass. The movement of each step on-demand based on changes in speed from the IMU sensor, while the direction is in units of 0 to 360° values based on the compass sensor. Using the concept of sequential, accelerometer data, and compass are a tabulation of data points to depart is used for mapping of trips to leave. The recorded data were compared directly with the two sensors on the microcontroller using a swarm intelligent algorithm for home navigation. The algorithm processing results are informed in the form of voice instructions and the number of steps, the accuracy is 84% with a shift error of ± 1 m.
