Autonomous guiding robot (AGuro): An AI Mueseum Robot for Visually Impaired Individuals

In light of the transformative influence of technology on contemporary society, the integration of intelligent robots equipped with sophisticated sensing capabilities and advanced artificial intelligence emerges as a promising avenue to enhance the mobility of individuals with blindness or low vision, especially in scenarios where access to a human guide is unfeasible. Our overarching objective is to facilitate the navigation of visually impaired and blind individuals within museum environments. At the core of our initiative is the Autonomous Guiding Robot (AGuro), a groundbreaking solution meticulously designed to cater primarily to the needs of the visually impaired and blind community, offering autonomy without reliance on human intervention.
