TDK MEMS Sensors Enable Accessibility Innovation with WeWALK's AI-powered Smart Cane 2
WeWALK's AI-powered Smart Cane 2 offers "unlimited mobility" for visually impaired people, enabled by the power of MEMS sensors by InvenSense, a TDK group company. Featured at https://invensense.tdk.com/wewalk, Smart Cane 2 offers accessibility breakthroughs empowered by TDK MEMS motion, microphone, and ultrasonic time-of-flight sensors. • SmartMotion MEMS motion sensors provide highly accurate navigation, enabling the Smart Cane 2 to direct users to accessible shops or cafes, or helping them find the safest route home. • SmartSound MEMS microphones accurately capture voice commands at all times, enabling the Smart Cane 2's intelligent voice assistant. • SmartSonic Ultrasonic Time-of-Flight sensors enable real-time presence detection and obstacle avoidance, ensuring Smart Cane 2 users are alerted to an overhead sign or tree branch in their path. With the small size and ultra-low power consumption of TDK MEMS sensors, WeWALK could develop its award-winning Smart Cane 2 to be about the same size and weight of a traditional white cane... while ensuring a long battery life. The WeWALK Smart Cane, featuring TDK sensor technology, has received global acclaim, including: Time Best Inventions 2023, The King’s Awards for Enterprise Innovation 2024, and Edison Awards 2024. WeWALK can inspire engineers everywhere to imagine the potential of TDK sensor technology for all their IoT and accessibility technology designs!
