Abstract
ALMA is an integrated system to support autonomous mobility and orientation for the elderly and, more in general, for the person with cognitive and/or mobility impairments in indoor facilities. It is composed of a set of modules for navigation, localization, planning, and autonomous wheelchair mobility, interfacing with the user. In this paper, we describe in detail the localization and navigation modules that can guide the target user to a selected destination and report our experience in a large care- and assistance-giving facility.
