| Abstract(in English) | We have developed a robotic travel aid and some devices that can provide assistance to guide visually impaired. Our robotic travel aid can estimate its position accurately using odometry information and visual map matching technique. However our wearable device for the visually impaired can't use odometry information. In this paper, we propose a measurement device and new method of position estimation. The measurement device is composed of 3D accelerometer, electronics compass and pressure sensor. |
