Scalable indoor navigation system based on proximity Bluetooth beacons using tools of AI

Ambient assisted living has thrived during the past decades due to the constant miniaturization of electronic and the declining price of the required technology. The researchers' motivation is two-folds: reduce cost of caregiving services while promoting autonomy of the targeted population. There are still several challenges and opportunity regarding the technological assistance of semi-autonomous persons. One of them is their inherent difficulty to travel in public space (airport, mall, government building, etc.). In this paper, we propose the first prototype of a navigation system adapted to address these challenges. The navigation system is scalable, cheap and will be completely open source upon release.
