Abstract(in English) This study aims to realize a support system that enables visually impaired people to grasp the possible gripping positions of cooking utensils by themselves, and proposes an image analysis and voice guidance system for recognizing the possible gripping positions of cooking utensils. We demonstrated that it is possible to recognize the type and possible gripping positions of cooking utensils by using YOLO and image analysis, and developed a system that guides the hand of visually impaired people to the possible gripping positions of cooking utensils by voice. We verified the effectiveness of this system by some experimental validations.
