Intelligent Walker Walking Assistant

Walking Assistent

Walking Assistant with Blindfolded User

The Walking Assistant avoids obstacles by braking while the user is pushing the iWalker. To demonstrate this, the user has been blindfolded in the video. He has a general idea where to go, but he has to rely on the obstacle avoidance to prevent any collisions.
