It is a challenging task for the blind people to perceive indoor environment information and walk independently.Path planning is a crucial requirement to provide constant assistance for blind people to navigate from one location to another.This paper presents a novel system for path planning to assist blind people for walking through the indoor environment and avoiding the obstacles.The algorithm is based on genetic algorithm and A* algorithm to select the shortest path that achieves the lowest computational time.A comparison a mong the GA, A* and the new algorithm shows that is faster and shorter than the previous algorithms.
