Desarrollo de un lazarillo robótico apoyado con visión artificial para el guiado de personas invidentes

Abstract

Currently the Artificial Vision is in a number of applications since using appropriate techniques allows to obtain, analyze and process information acquired through digital images. The Development of a Robotic Lazarillo supported with artificial vision aims to guide blind people in a controlled environment. The Robotic Lazarillo has a Raspberry Pi 3 B + that allows system control, a neural computing device known as Intel Neural Compute Stick 2 (INTEL NCS2) that receives the images captured from the camera and determines the type of image, a camera Web which fulfills two functions, the first is to acquire images of the environment, the second is to detect the red guideline and finally the communication of the Robotic Lazarillo is composed of an Arduino Uno and a Bluetooth HC-05 whose function is to inform the Blind person the sense in which the Lazarillo is moving through voice messages, for example, when no object is detected through communication, a voice message will be issued indicating the direction the Robotic Lazarillo is taking. The Locomotion System of the Lazarillo is composed of two rear tires that are placed in parallel in the chassis, two castor wheels in the front that are used to follow the path of the Robot.
