Abstract: The present invention relates to a solar powered hat for assisting physically disabled persons. The invention provides a portable solar-charged wearable device integrated with artificial intelligence and sensors to support navigation and environmental awareness. Flexible solar panels embedded on the surface of the hat harvest sunlight and recharge an internal battery that powers electronic components. A microcontroller processes data received from ultrasonic sensors positioned around the hat for obstacle detection and environmental interpretation. A global positioning system provides navigation and direction guidance. A microphone receives voice commands enabling hands-free control of system functions. A feedback mechanism including speaker and vibration motor provides audio and haptic alerts when obstacles are detected. A wireless communication module including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enables connectivity with smartphones and external devices. Power management software maintains efficient operation of the artificial intelligence system and sensors while solar panels continuously recharge the battery for continuous operation.
