Guide Dog: Development of Navigation AI Technology of a Guidance Robot for the Visually Impaired Person

(Phase 1) Video + LRF-based road following guidance technology development

• Technology that allow the robot to recognize the structure of the road on its own without a map and move according to the instructions of the user (the visually impaired)

• Substitution of mobility for the blind people with orientation ability

(Phase 2) Development of global guidance technolog using public maps

• Global localization from location clues (road topology, Pol, StreetView) extracted from public maps (portal maps) and real environment matching

• Orientation assistance for the visually impaired and movement guidance to destination
