CONCEPT OF MECHATRONIC SYSTEM FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE

Abstract

This paper aims to highlight both the approach to the issue of assistive devices for the visually impaired, and to present a modular mechatronic system for visually impaired people who have acquired other mild or moderate disabilities during life or even from birth. The mechatronic system is not a conventional device, it can be customized when the person has adapted to the basic set and other needs have been identified in response to other needs through additional modules. Based on the needs and requirements of people with visual impairments identified by case study, a structure of the mechatronic system is designed, with special modules for location, color identification, object bypass, haptic / audio feedback.
