Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to guiding a user travelling along a path. In one embodiment, a method includes predicting, by a processor, a behavior of a user based on at least sensor data received by the processor. The user is travelling on a pedestrian path. The method further includes, in response to a predicted behavior, controlling a guide, by the processor, to output the guide along the pedestrian path to direct the user.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- predicting, by a processor, a behavior of a user based on at least sensor data received by the processor, the user travelling on a pedestrian path;
- in response to a predicted behavior, controlling a guide by the processor to output the guide along the pedestrian path to direct the user;
- and
- in response to the user being outside a safe zone, controlling by a processor, a physical barrier proximate to the user to erect the physical barrier proximate to the user.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- predict a behavior of a user based on at least sensor data, the user travelling on a pedestrian path;
- in response to a predicted behavior, control a guide to output the guide along the pedestrian path to direct the user;
- and
- in response to the user being outside a safe zone, control a physical barrier proximate to the user to erect the physical barrier proximate to the user.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- predict a behavior of a user based on at least sensor data, the user travelling on a pedestrian path;
- in response to a predicted behavior, control a guide to output the guide along the pedestrian path to direct the user;
- and
- in response to the user being outside a safe zone, control a physical barrier proximate to the user to erect the physical barrier proximate to the user.
