Smart shirt system

For a visually impaired person to navigate through an environment cluttered with obstacles, a neuro-fiizzy logic—based obstacle avoidance control algorithm is developed for a smart shirt system. 

In the smart shirt system, the Lilypad Arduino microcontroller board is used. The board is based on ATmega328 (20 MHz, 6-channel 10-bit ADC, 14-channel programmable input/output lines) for which the instruction set and technical specifications of the chip are given in the ATMEL Technical Data Manual [14], In order to program the microcontroller, Arduino developed a C-based software. Thus, in this study Arduino s own software is preferred against assembly language due to easy programming. 

Based on experiment results, it can be said that the developed smart shirt system is able to detect an obstacle s position accurately and presents encouraging results in order to warn the user to avoid an obstacle. It is able to identify an obstacle s position without any failure within the detection range. That means the system is capable of... 

Before starting to design a smart shirt, many questions related with design variables are considered. In electronic system architecture toward the objective of the research, the following questions are answered ...
