MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123916 A) filed by Dr. Dr. Bhavya Kanchanapalli; BVRIT Hyderabad College Of Engineering For Women; Ms. Chekuri Bhanu Teja; Ms. M. Srija; Ms. V. Bhavana; and Ms. Thogaru Sai Thanmai, Hyderabad, Telangana, on Dec. 9, 2025, for 'obstacle detecting glasses using arduino.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Bhavya Kanchanapalli; Ms. Chekuri Bhanu Teja; Ms. M. Srija; Ms. V. Bhavana; and Ms. Thogaru Sai Thanmai.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Many visually impaired individuals rely on canes to detect obstacles at ground level. However, canes do not provide awareness of face-level obstacles such as tree branches or overhangs. While traditional canes are effective, they have drawbacks including limited obstacle detection range and high costs associated with training and maintenance. In contrast, the Obstacle-Detecting Glasses offer a hands-free, lightweight and technologically advanced solution allowing users to navigate their environment with increased safety. This project presents the development of Obstacle-Detecting Glasses, an assistive technology solution utilizing Arduino to enhance mobility and safety. These glasses solve both problems at once by integrating HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles and providing real-time haptic feedback through a vibration motor embedded in the frame."
