Automation and digital technologies are revolutionizing how we live, and smart systems are increasingly becoming viable alternatives to indoor guidance and navigation. This paper discusses the development of an autonomous indoor location guidance system designed to guide visitors with navigating a college campus department. Advanced programming features and electronic tools aligned with the 4th industrial revolution are integrated to create a wireless, motor-driver circuit, which acts as a guidance system. Using motion graphics technology it displays a guidance visualization navigation running on embedded systems-including a Raspberry Pi. Users interact with the system by accessing an interface through a capacitive screen. This prototype demonstrated the potential of indoor guidance as essential and efficient, with some commercial prospects.
