Study on the Design of Hospital Guide Robot for Visually Impaired People Based on SAPAD-AHP
In order to solve the problem of visually impaired users who have difficulty in accessing medical care,this study uses the SAPAD-AHP methodology to investigate the design of a guide robot for hospitals for the visually impaired.First,interviews,observations,and experiences were used to document the process and pain points of visually impaired people's access to health care.Secondly,the behaviors of visually impaired people were studied through the SAPAD model to establish their behavior-object-meaning mapping relationship,and the meanings were clustered and analyzed to obtain general meaning clusters.Finally,the weight analysis is combined with the AHP method to calculate the weight of each meaning cluster,and the core meaning clusters are obtained by sorting.Through the core meaning cluster-object mapping,the core needs of visually impaired people are obtained which can be analyzed and disassembled to get the real needs to improve the design research of guide robot for visually impaired people.
