A custom NMPC/WBIC controller slowed the gait and softened foot contacts of a Unitree Go1 quadruped, reducing walking noise by roughly 10 dB and earning better user acceptance than the default gait.

abstract
This paper reports on a study that helps visually-impaired people to walk more confidently. The study hypothesizes that a smart cane that alerts visually-impaired people over obstacles in front could help them in walking with less accident. The aim of the paper is to address the development work of a cane that could communicate with the users through voice alert and vibration, which is named Smart Cane. T he development work involves coding and physical installation. A series of tests have been carried out on the smart cane and the results are discussed. This study found that the Smart Cane functions well as intended, in alerting users about the obstacles in front
