This project is designed to empower visually impaired individuals with safe and independent kitchen navigation through the integration of advanced hardware and software technologies. The hardware module, utilizing an ESP32 microcontroller, incorporates multiple safety-oriented components. A temperature sensor monitors the heat of food or cooking elements, providing voice-based alerts on their suitability for consumption. A gas sensor ensures safety by detecting leaks and automatically triggering a cylinder knob shutoff mechanism. Fire detection is managed by a dedicated sensor that activates a buzzer in emergencies. Load cells are used to measure the weight of items, and when the weight drops below a predefined threshold, the system generates a voice prompt to notify users to refill. These features collectively ensure a secure and accessible cooking environment tailored to the needs of visually impaired users. On the software side, the system employs advanced AI-driven technologies to assist users further. Image-to-text technology allows for the recognition and vocalization of ingredient names labeled on packaging, eliminating the need for visual identification. Additionally, a YOLOv5-based object detection algorithm identifies various kitchen ingredients, vegetables, and fruits, providing real-time voice feedback to enhance usability. The combination of intelligent sensors and machine learning algorithms creates a robust and user-friendly solution, fostering greater independence and safety. This innovative system bridges the gap between accessibility and technology, enabling users to navigate kitchen tasks with ease and confidence.
