"Coco Robotics is partnering with BlindSquare to remit real-time sidewalk hazard data directly to visually impaired pedestrians, enhancing their navigation experience in urban environments."
"The self-voicing app converts the information into spoken alerts delivered in 26 languages, warning users roughly 10 meters before they reach a hazard."
"Thousands of delivery robots become on-the-ground eyes for people who cannot see what's ahead, continuously logging every obstacle they encounter."
Coco Robotics operates around 10,000 delivery robots that log obstacles on sidewalks. The company has partnered with BlindSquare to share this data, enhancing navigation for visually impaired pedestrians. The partnership will be implemented in six markets, including major U.S. cities and two in Finland. BlindSquare converts the data into spoken alerts in 26 languages, warning users of hazards approximately 10 meters in advance. This collaboration aims to improve safety for blind individuals by utilizing the delivery robots as a source of real-time information about their environment.
