MobiLysa - Sistema de localização e controle do cão-guia robô Lysa para ambientes internos baseado em visão computacional

Abstract

Lysa is a guide-robot whose goal is to assist people with visual impairment, improving their autonomy and mobility. Lysa is able to detect potholes, ground obstacles and risks of collision with high objects, warning the user of such dangers by voice. However Lysa is still unable to guide a person to a place within an environment. Therefore, the aim of this project will be to develop MobiLysa: a service to perform localization, navigation and control of the robot Lysa so it can guide a person to a desired location inside a building. That will be done using an Intelligent Space based on computer vision. The user will be able to indicate the desired destination, either by voice or other form of interaction, and be guided to the place independently and safely.
