Our vision
Independent movement, designed with the people who need it.
RoamAssist aims to change how visually impaired people navigate the world: with a robotic guide dog that understands its surroundings and coordinates movement with the person walking beside it.
At the core is a collaborative navigation system — environmental perception plus user-centered interaction — so guidance feels like a partnership, not a remote-control toy.
Our product
Navigation that walks with you.
We turn an off-the-shelf robot dog into a self-propelled companion using a patented topo-navigation algorithm and a force-aware handle. Users can navigate freely and avoid obstacles smoothly — an experience other solutions still struggle to provide.
02
Single walk-through mapping
Routes can be learned in one pass, then reused without retracing from scratch.
03
Unlimited route memory
Store the places that matter — commute, clinic, attraction — and recall them on demand.
04
Location notification
The robot communicates where you are along a route, reducing uncertainty in complex spaces.
05
Force-sensing speed
Walking pace adapts to the user’s pull and push on the handle, not a fixed robot speed.
06
Bidirectional control
Person and robot share control, keeping cognitive load low while staying in charge.
Use cases
Proven in the places people actually travel.
Why RoamAssist
Designed to scale what guide dogs do best.
High service range
Collaborative navigation works indoors and outdoors, with route memory that grows with the user.
Low cognitive load
Straightforward, user-centered interaction. The robot shares the work of wayfinding instead of adding another interface to manage.
Availability that can scale
Compared with trained guide dogs, robotic systems can be produced, maintained, and deployed with far shorter wait times.
