Beyond Canes and Guide Dogs


Beyond Canes and Guide Dogs: A Review of 40 Years of Robotics for Wayfinding, Navigating, and Orienting Assistance for People with Visual Impairments


We present the first comprehensive survey covering Wayfinding Robots for People with Visual Impairments (PwVI), spanning works from the past 4 decades (1984-2024). Wayfinding robots come in all shapes and sizes, such as colloquial robots, wearables, handhelds, and augmented white canes. Robotic wayfinding assistants are designed to help PwVI in every day tasks such as navigation, guidance, or localization. Tactile and kinesthetic haptics, audio, and sometimes even visual content are relied upon to create (bi-)directional communication interfaces.



Abstract

Robotic aids that enrich the lives of Persons with Visual Impairments (PwVI) are becoming increasingly popular. Their development is motivated by the significant navigational challenges faced by PwVI that negatively impacts their independence and quality of life. % Traditional tools such as white canes, guide dogs, and tactile maps have utility but present limitations in adaptability and scope. Additionally, traditional tools such as white canes, guide dogs, and tactile maps, although useful, lack the adaptability and situational awareness that robots offer. This survey presents the first comprehensive review of robotic solutions for wayfinding, spanning over 150 works in the past 40 years. We propose unifying definitions wayfindingw and robotic wayfinding across fields including robotics, human factors, urban theory, and several other social sciences in the context of assistive robotics technologies for PwVI, and provide rigorous classification along axes of embodiment, communication, sensing, and user evaluation. Informed by the gaps in the literature, we provide critical analysis and explanation into six research questions spanning from factors in device design trends, evolutions of unidirectional and bidirectional communication mediums, and robustness of system evaluations and user studies. Furthermore, we analyze and compare state-of-the-art approaches spanning human-robot interaction, advanced perception pipelines, and experimental design. We identify limitations and open challenges for developing robotic wayfinding solutions and outline recommendations for future research directions. The full annotated dataset and detailed taxonomy for all surveyed papers are published in the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) repository (coming soon) .
