Mobility is one of the major challenges for visually impaired individuals in their daily activities. Visual impairments make it difficult for them to detect obstacles around them, increasing the risk of injury. This study aims to design and develop a smart stick based on ESP32, equipped with an ultrasonic sensor, to assist the mobility of visually impaired people. The system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect the distance of objects and provides early warnings to users through a buzzer, with varying rhythms depending on the proximity of objects. The research methodology includes system design and development of hardware and software, as well as direct testing on visually impaired users. The test results show that the system can detect obstacles with 95% accuracy at distances up to 200 cm, and provide appropriate responses based on the distance of detected objects. In addition, this prototype is energy-efficient, allowing for prolonged use without frequent recharging. This study provides a practical solution to enhance the independence and safety of visually impaired individuals in daily activities, with the potential for further development to improve detection accuracy and user comfort.

This article examines the influence of global legal systems on the formation of legislation in Indonesia. Historically, Indonesia adopted the Continental European legal system inherited from the Netherlands as the foundation of its national legal framework. Over time, Indonesia’s legal system has also been shaped by principles of common law, Islamic law, and customary law, deeply rooted in the nation's culture. This study aims to analyze how the interplay of these diverse legal systems has contributed to the development of a unique and complex national legal structure. Employing a literature review and normative analysis method, the research explores how elements from various global legal systems have enriched Indonesia’s legal framework. The findings reveal that, while this diversity enhances the national legal system, it also presents challenges in harmonizing and synchronizing existing regulations. This study offers valuable insights into the dynamics of cross-system legal influences in the Indonesian context and their implications for national legal reform.
