Path Guidance Robot and Method for the Visually Impaired

Visually Impaired Path Guidance Robot Technology Integrating Obstacle/Road Sensors and Haptic Feedback

This technology relates to a path guidance robot and method for the visually impaired. Specifically, it is a visually impaired path guidance robot technology that combines obstacle and road sensors with haptic feedback.

Existing technologies needed to address the inconvenience of blind individuals relying solely on canes and the limitations of existing guidance systems. Therefore, this technology proposes a configuration that includes an obstacle sensor, a road sensor, a processing unit, a driving section, a handle, and a support member.

Accordingly, this technology can continuously guide the visually impaired along a path, thereby improving the safety and convenience of their walking. It has value for use in the robotics, automation, healthcare, pharmaceutical, and household goods sectors.
