AIBA Walk is an electronic cane that translates space into vibration. LiDAR, gyroscope and haptic motors give you a new sense — the ability to feel obstacles before you reach them.
Like bats that navigate through echolocation, AIBA Walk translates distance into sensation. The LiDAR measures obstacle distances in real time. The ESP32 converts those measurements into vibration patterns. Your brain learns to interpret the vibrations as spatial information — creating an artificial extra sense.
The laser distance sensor scans the environment continuously, measuring the distance to every obstacle in its field — with millimetre precision.
The dual-core processor analyses the LiDAR data in real time, calculates proximity levels and determines the correct vibration intensity for each motor — in under 50ms.
Haptic motors produce vibrations whose intensity is directly proportional to obstacle proximity. The closer the obstacle, the stronger the vibration — your body learns to read it naturally.
Four components working together to give you a new sense of the world around you.
Laser distance sensor that detects obstacles in multiple directions. Range of several metres, millimetre resolution, operates in any lighting condition — including complete darkness.
High-performance dual-core processor. Processes LiDAR data in real time with no perceptible latency. Manages motor control, power and all device logic autonomously.
Detects the orientation and movement of the device. Adapts alerts according to the position and angle of the cane — so the vibration always reflects the true direction of the obstacle.
Multiple haptic motors with individually controlled intensity. Vibration strength is proportional to distance. Different patterns for different directions — side, front, low.
AIBA Walk does not replace the white cane — it extends it. Together, they cover what neither can achieve alone.
Every decision in AIBA Walk was made with one goal: maximum independence with minimum friction.
