A Robotic Travel Aid (RoTA) is a motorized wheelchair equipped with vision, sonar, and tactile sensors and a map database system. A RoTA can provide
a visually impaired user assistance with orientation and obstacle avoidance, as well as information about their present location,
landmarks, and the route being followed. In this paper we describe HITOMI, an implementation of the RoTA concept that can
guide a visually impaired user along a road with lane marks or along a sidewalk while avoiding obstacles.
