This paper discusses the conception and development of a semi-autonomous robot that aids visually impaired users in travelling by helping them make purely intuitive decisions i.e., the user makes the final decision.The core of the robot comprises of a steer-able base and a sensor suite mounted on the base.We have used fusion of multiple Sensors to achieve better results for Obstacle Avoidance and path planning and developed interlocks which provided quite accurate results.
