Session: Enhancing Accessibility for All in Era of Autonomous Robots and Smart Cities
As technology advances, we are witnessing robots moving beyond their traditional confines of factory floors or military applications and integrating into our everyday environments. From patrolling streets to facilitating deliveries, these robots have become smaller and more autonomous over time. Interestingly, the very same technologies driving this evolution hold promise for enhancing accessibility for visually impaired individuals.Key Takeaways
- Progress in technology enable robots to be part of human environment.
- However, some parts of the society still have limited to the same environments
- Same technology for mobile robots can be used to increase autonomy and accessibility for visually impaired people, especially indoors.
- In ZMP, we used the technology for delivery and security robots for assistant navigation app project, which aim to help anyone, especially elderly and visually impaired people
Bio
I am a robotics engineer with a PhD. After having completed my studied at The Technical University of Munich, I came to Japan to have my PhD in University of Tokyo on self-localization for hand-held devices and mobile robots. Afterwards, I have joined ZMP Japan to work on visually impaired people navigation app, delivery and warehouse robots.
