“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.” – Albert Einstein
​Summary of Mtech Thesis :
One of the major challenges faced by old, infirm, and visually impaired is independent indoor navigation. Navigation for the visually challenged is an area that is driving many types of research. There are many navigation systems for the visually impaired but very few can provide dynamic interactions and adaptability to changes. Our goal was to design a navigation system (walking stick) that would help a visually impaired to navigate his/her path in an indoor environment without interfering with any human being. It is difficult for human-robot interaction when the user is visually impaired. So, the navigation system should be able to sense the obstacle, detect the required objects, and give that information to the user so that the user can navigate his/her path independently.
