Guiding Paws is a project focused on developing a quadruped robot that assists visually impaired individuals with safe and intelligent navigation. Equipped with AI, sensor systems, and Digital Twin technology, the robot continuously scans its environment, builds real-time virtual models, and delivers personalized guidance. It integrates advanced object detection, pathfinding, and real-time feedback to ensure safe and efficient mobility. The Digital Twin system simulates and refines routes based on real-world data, enhancing navigation accuracy and user experience. Designed for urban settings, Guiding Paws aims to empower visually impaired users with greater independence and accessibility in their daily movements.
