Abstract: 6. ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION The patent disclosure covers Novel System, Design and Method of Autonomous Assistive Mobility Cane With Al-Driven Environmental Perception and Predictive Hazard Forecasting for Visually Impaired Useis. Insual impairment significantly affects independent mobility and increases the risk of accidents caused by obstacles, uneven pathways, moving vehicles, and other environmental hazards. This patent presents an Autonomous Assistive Mobility Cane with Al-driven environmental perception, predictive hazard forecasting, and solarpowered charging to enhance safe navigation for visually impaired individuals. The invention integrates ultrasonic sensors, a camera module, GPS, and an intelligent processing unit to continuously monftor the surrounding environment. Sensor data are analyzed using artificial intelligence algorithms todetect obstacles, identify potential hazards, estimate their distance and movement, and provide timely voice and vibration alerts before physical contact occurs. A predictive hazard forecasting mechanism evaluates environmental conditions and warns users of possible danc:ers such as approaching vehicles, stairs, potholes, or open drains. The integrated solar energy harvesting system continuously recharges the onboard battery, ensuring extended operation and reduced dependence on external charging sources. By combining real-time sensing, intelligent hazard prediction, adaptive user feedback, and renewable energy management within a single assistive device, this patent aims to improve mobility, independence, and personal safety while reducing accident risks for visually impaired users in both indoor and outdoor environments.
