Summary:In this research, haptic motor, Node MCU, ultrasonic sensors are used to address the problem associated with the current walking stick for visually disabled people. These problems include disturbing their main sense of survival which is hearing. Hence, a system containing ultrasonic sensors, haptic motor and Internet of Things has been recommended in this study. This study illustrates that the implementation of haptic motors and ultrasonic sensors can successfully address the major issues that current alternatives face and it has a positive ad significant impact on visually disabled people. Using this method, one can monitor the person's movement and whether they fell down. This system makes use of IoT it integrate the data from sensors and update it onto the website for other person monitoring.
