The goal of the BUDD-e (Blind-assistive aUtonomous Droid Device) project is to make public spaces and services, such as shopping centers and cultural centers/museums, accessible, functional and usable by blind and visual impaired people developing an autonomous robotic guide designed according to the needs of this category of people.
BUDD-e is one of the 5 high social impact research projects of the Politecnico di Milano selected via the last edition of the Polisocial Awards to be financed by funds from the 5×1000 donations (a fraction of the personal income tax each Italian citizen can donate to support a non-profit organisation).
