ABSTRACT
Project VOCOWA aims to deliver an automated solution for assistive technologies/ advanced smart assistance which will enable elderly and disabled people to live an independent and dignified life. VOCOWA can be implemented using three major technologies i.e., Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM), Deep Learning and Natural Language Processing to achieve its objectives. As of now the SLAM technology has been implemented successfully.

Exploring Art with a Voice Controlled Multimodal Guide for Blind People
TEI '19: Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded, and Embodied InteractionThere is an increasing concern to improve the accessibility of artworks for blind people. Much of the effort has been focused on helping the visually impaired people to access the exhibition facilities, but the works of art hosted there are still ...
Semi-autonomous Navigation of a Robotic Wheelchair
The present work considers the development of a wheelchair for people with special needs, which is capable of navigating semi-autonomously within its workspace. This system is expected to prove useful to people with impaired mobility and limited fine ...
