In 2004, the Computer Science Assistive Technology Laboratory (CSATL) of Utah State University (USU) started a project whose objective is to develop RoboCart, a robotic shopping assistant for the visually impaired. RoboCart is a continuation of our previous work on RG, a robotic guide for the visually impaired in structured indoor environments. The determinism provided by exteroception of passive RFID-enabled surfaces is desirable when dealing with dynamic and uncertain environments where probabilistic approaches like Monte Carlo Markov localization (MCL) may fail. We present the results of a pilot feasibility study with two visually impaired shoppers in Lee’s MarketPlace, a supermarket in Logan, Utah.
