They can reason, grasp
underlying concepts,
form hypotheses, and
infer and extract ideas.

Cognitive systems
understand imagery,
language and other
unstructured data
like humans do.
LEARN
With each data point,
interaction and outcome,
they develop and
sharpen expertise, so
they never stop learning.
INTERACT
With abilities to see,
talk and hear, cognitive
systems interact with
humans in a natural way.

Mobile voice navigation system that helps people
with disabilities to move more easily in the world
around them. It is designed to provide contextual
understanding of someone's position within a
building and then direct it with an accessible path
to the destination.
The internal / external voice navigation system:
• Guide users with turn-by-turn directions on
accessible routes
• Use the beacons inside a building to help
recognize the user's position
• Customize the way in which indications are
given, for example, in an auditory way or via
haptic signals
• It can be used in many different places, such as
hospitals, offices and shopping centers
