LLM agents parse floor plans for accessible indoor navigation for visually impaired

Researchers have developed an agentic framework to assist blind and low-vision individuals with indoor navigation by parsing floor plans into a structured knowledge base. This system uses a multi-agent module for floor plan analysis and a path planner with a safety evaluator to generate navigation instructions. Tested on the UMBC Math and Psychology building, the framework achieved success rates of up to 92.31% for short routes, significantly outperforming baseline models like Claude 3.7 Sonnet. AI
