Abstract In this paper, a newly developed intelligent ultrasonic cane for the blind is presented, which is based on the microchip PIC16F877.The theory of ultrasonic ranging, design methods and its realization are introdueed in details, especially the design of its hardware.An important aspect of this paper is to propose a method to avoid damages to the visually impaired or disabled persons by various obstacles. Our experimental results have demonstrated that this ultrasonic cane can help visually impaired or disabled persons walk more freely and safely.
