About the solution
Shiloh used robotics to find a way for the user to be free of the white cane.
“A robot is blind until you put sensors on it,” she explained. “Why don’t we put sensors on the blind, so they can navigate like robots?”
The student created a system that combines a wide-brimmed hat, vibrating motors, and a robot vacuum cleaner’s laser distance sensor to come up with the wearable device that warns the wearer of obstacles through vibrations.
Shiloh was recognized as the winner of the California State Fair “Project of the Year” and was an Americas Regional finalist in the Google Science Fair.
