Beschreibung

Why? Recent advances in computational object recognition, robotics, and machine learning, combined with the miniaturization of hardware, offer many opportunities for digital personal assistance. If there are self-driving cars soon, why not use similar camera-based approaches to assist humans in everyday tasks, like shopping and wayfinding? Especially for seniors and those with mild to severe impairments, technology can be the key to self-determined partaking in society.

How? Today, we have a tactile navigation belt for the blind that makes them feel orientation and navigation cues, utilizing vibration around the waist [1]. Tomorrow, we want to offer the individual user situationally adapted assistance in real-time for various everyday tasks like shopping in the local supermarket [2]. For this, the team will be using cutting-edge approaches of deep-neural-network-based object recognition, combined with tactile displays as the user interface and psychophysical tests for validation of the approach.
