ADAPTIVE, IMITATIVE NAVIGATIONAL ASSISTANCE

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer program products for adaptive, imitation learning and applications to navigational assistance are disclosed. The inventive concepts include: generating a navigational assistance trajectory through a physical environment in response to receiving a request for navigational assistance through the physical environment; and transmitting navigation instructions to a mobile device. The navigation instructions are based at least in part on the navigational assistance trajectory. A user receiving the navigational assistance trajectory and auditory instructions may advantageously navigate through the complex, dynamic physical environment without relying on visual cues.
