Abstract: The present invention provides an AI-powered wearable navigation and perception system (100) for assisting visually impaired individuals through integrated environmental sensing, intelligent processing, predictive hazard detection, and assistive navigation. The system comprises a wearable sensing unit (102), a sensor fusion subsystem (103), an edge processing subsystem (104), a communication interface (105), a cloud intelligence platform (106), a predictive collision detection engine (107), a multimodal feedback subsystem (108), a navigation subsystem (109), and an energy management subsystem (110). Internally, the architecture encompasses sensing, processing, communication, navigation, feedback, predictive collision detection, and power management modules (205, 210, 214, 224, 229, 237, 242). Environmental information collected from LiDAR sensors (301, 601), depth cameras (302, 602), inertial measurement unit (303, 603) and a microphone array (304, 604) is processed through a pre-processing module (305), a time synchronization module (306), a calibration and alignment module (307) and a fused sensor representation module (308). The assistive navigation methodology (501–512) is based on a hybrid processing framework that includes a task classification module (402), a task prioritization module (403), local edge processing (405), a predictive collision detection engine (406), and a result fusion module (426). A multimodal feedback subsystem (701-709) provides user guidance and an energy management subsystem (801-808) manages power usage and operational continuity.
