Um estudo sobre dispositivos sensoriais para auxiliar deficientes visuais no desvio de obstáculos

Abstract

Bearing in mind the importance of social inclusion in the construction of society, and to meet the needs of people with disabilities, several technologies have been built over the years. The present work has as its central agenda people with visual impairment, addressing the theme "Assistive Technology" which refers to any tool or technique that can contribute to a better quality of life for people with a disability. The general goal is to conduct a study on current technologies with ultrasonic sensors, laser sensors and infrared sensors, in order to adapt any instrument that serves as a guide for the visually impaired, supplying autonomy and independence to carry out everyday tasks. As for the methodology used, the study is classified as bibliographical research. In this work, sensory devices capable of detecting obstacles were presented, in order to help in the locomotion of people with visual impairment, in addition to possibly contributing as a source of studies for future projects on accessibility.
