Virtual AI Assistant for Navigation & Evacuation

Current Students: Keerthana Srinivasan

Status: Current 

The goal of research in Virtual AI Assistants for Navigation and Evacuation is to develop intelligent, real-time systems that guide individuals safely and efficiently during normal navigation and emergency evacuation scenarios using generative artificial intelligence. AI Assistant provides real-time navigation & evacuation assistance with dynamic, context-aware directions in complex environments (e.g. hospitals, campuses). It adapt routes based on user location, accessibility needs, or environmental changes. AI Assistant is helful in detecting emergencies (fire, earthquake, active shooter, etc.) and guide users to the nearest safe exits. Thus, minimizing panic by providing calm, clear, and personalized instructions.
