面向视障人群出行场景的机器导盲犬设计综述

Design Overview of Robotic Guide Dogs for Visually Impaired Individuals in Travel Scenarios

摘要: 我国是全球盲人数量最多的国家，有超过1700万的视障人士，对应的导盲犬需求约为17万只，而国内现役导盲犬实际数量总数仅约200只。导盲犬要经过严格的筛选与培训才能为视障人士工作，使得这项服务的稀缺性极为突出。此外，导盲犬在许多公共场所被禁止进入，视障人士的进出也因此受限，视障人群在生活与出行上遇到的不便给他们的身心带来许多伤害。因此，本课题将着眼于视障人群本身，研究视障人群出行场景的问题与麻烦，综合传统解决方案，引入现代设计理念，进行符合出行场景的机器导盲犬设计。本课题设计力求从情感上关注视障人群生活生产及出行时的状态及心理需求，从功能上充分考虑视障人群的生活习惯和出行场景的需求，通过对造型上的创新和人机功能的适配缓解视障人群的出行难题。

Abstract: China has the largest number of blind people in the world, with more than 17 million visually impaired people, and the corresponding demand for guide dogs is about 170,000. The actual number of guide dogs in active service in China is less than 200. Guide dogs need strict screening and training to work for blind people, making the scarcity of this service extremely prominent; In addition, guide dogs are prohibited from entering many public places, and the entry and exit of blind people are also restricted. The inconvenience faced by visually impaired people in their daily life and travel brings them many physical and mental injuries. Therefore, this project will focus on the visually impaired individuals themselves, study the problems and troubles of their travel scenarios, integrate traditional solutions such as guide dogs, and introduce modern design concepts to design machine guide dogs that meet the travel scenarios. Strive to pay emotional attention to the living, production, and travel status and psychological needs of visually impaired people; Fully considering the lifestyle habits and travel needs of visually impaired individuals in terms of functionality, and through innovative styling and adaptation of human-machine functions, it can solve the travel difficulties of visually impaired individuals.
