Abstract: The aim of this paper is, to design a robot for the blind people. Here we are implementing a robot model; by using it we can give a voice message to the blind people about the name of the objects which are present in his way. The main use of this model is a blind person can also walk as a normal person without others help. And also another feature here is, a non expert person also can able to teach to the robot about the newly learning of visual objects. Here we are using ARM11 processor, so we can have many of the advanced features also. Here we are using a camera; it is capturing the things which are there in front of the robot. And it will send the image to the processor and then as per the commands by the user it may save the image or compare the image with the existing data base. If the command is recall means it will recall the object name if the object present in the data base and then it will give its corresponding name as a voice message to the blind people through the ear phone.
