Autonomous manoeuvring of Personal Mobility Devices (PMD)

Singapore is a developed country that is presently facing an ageing population crisis. With the increasing number of elderly residents in the future, illness like visual impairments may develop in older citizens. Hence, with the loss of sight, taking the public transportation will be one of the many...
