IBM Working on AI Suitcase to Help Visually Challenged People Travel Independently

Tech giant IBM, in partnership with four other companies, is developing a prototype suitcase that will use artificial intelligence to help guide visually challenged people. The company is working with Alps Alpine, Mitsubishi, Omron, and Shimizu on the smart suitacase. The prototype, which is a suitcase-shaped ****** for now, was ideated by IBM fellow Chieko Asakawa, who herself has vision problems.

Asakawa came up with the idea while pushing her suitcase during a business trip. “It’s impossible for visually [challenged] individuals to walk around town alone freely and safely,” she was quoted by the ********* newspaper as saying. “I want to make that possible.”

The AI for the suitcase will be developed by IBM, Alps Alpine will work on the haptic technology, Omron will provide the image recognition and sensors, Shimizu will work on the navigation system, while the responsibility of developing automotive technology ***** with Mitsubishi. The consortium believes that the AI suitcase will help them move around independently.
