Abstract
The aging population warrants new mechanisms to help care for the elderly. Robotics is one such mechanism that requires the robots to navigate to the residents. Pepper robot is used in nursing homes to navigate to the residents. The sensors that help Pepper navigate are less than par in helping Pepper navigate to the residents. To help Pepper map the nursing home for navigation we equipped it with a LiDAR detector and an NVIDIA Nano. This paper discusses the design and the enhancements to Pepper to help navigate. Limitations and struggles will also be shared along with some use cases.
