Dear Friends,
Positive Stories
A young innovative student designs sensor stick for visually challenged
17 year old Shantanu Gangwar was pained to see his blind friends bump into
walls, furniture and other objects. This prompted the aspiring engineer from R
K Puram to develop something that warns the visually impaired students about
obstacles. Shantanu invented a smart walking stick, which is not only cost
effective but is also easy to use. This marvelous invention has helped him to
bag the prestigious Diamond Jubilee Invention Award for School Children 2010,
from CSIR. The infrared sensors in the walking stick can detect objects within
one-foot range. On detecting an obstacle, the sensor sends signals to a motor
connected to it, which in turn vibrates, alerting the user. On the 'Smart
Stick' project, Shatanu took help from his electronics teacher. The project
took six months to complete and required an investment of only 800. Shantanu's
invention would prove to be great boon for the visually impaired students, if
made on commercial scale. Let us hope some corporate with 'vision' will take up
the commercial part of the project.
