The talk is about smart cane for blind
Trained in Indian Classical Music, Rohan Paul is a young innovator behind Smart Cane. After spending his undergraduate days at the department of Computer Science and Engineering, at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi he joined the Robotics Department of Oxford on the Rhodes Scholarship. He is passionate about creating affordable assistive devices for people with disabilities.
Before the creation of Smart Cane, it was felt that the traditional cane for the visually impaired was not very useful because it had a limited range (0.5m) and couldn’t detect obstacles above knee-level. He developed a cane-mountable embedded system that increases the detection range to 3m and detects knee-above obstacles. The system incorporates an optimized algorithm for ranging and detection of speeding obstacles like cars, scooters. The project is in collaboration with the National Association for the Blind, New Delhi and is presently at the pilot trial stage.
