SOUND SONAR TO HELP BLIND PEOPLE

SOUND OF SONAR TO HELP BLIND PEOPLERecently, we often see prototypes or concepts of the devices based on the use of cutting-edge technologies and the latest achievements of science, by which blind people and people with sight disabilities gain the opportunity to “see” the environment
The closest to mass production of such a device is a device Virtual Cane, which using the principle of sound sonar, allows its users to “see” physical objects at a distance up to 10 meters. The device is composed of a emitter, which emits a stream of inaudible sound waves that are reflected from objects and carry back information about the size and the distance to the object. The system informs the user of the vibration oscillations, the frequency and intensity of which depends on the size and distance of the object.

THE CAR-ROBOT FROM GOOGLE

CAR-ROBOT FROM GOOGLEGoogle does extensive testing of vehicles-robots that can move independently.

The representatives of company Google announced that the company conducts extensive testing of vehicles equipped with Autonomous control system, which will allow these cars on their own, without human intervention, to move on the roads in normal traffic. These tests are carried out on the intercity roads in the state of California, now these cars do run on the route with a length of 560 kilometers from the town of Google in mountain view to their headquarters in Santa Monica.
