Biped.ai is a technology startup that has developed a wearable device designed to assist pedestrians in navigating their surroundings. The company operates in the assistive technology market, serving clients who may have mobility or visual impairments. The device, which weighs just 950 grams, is worn on the shoulders and uses autonomous driving technology to detect potential obstacles in the user's path.

The business model of Biped.ai revolves around the sale of its two versions of wearable devices: Biped Pro and Biped Pro Plus. These devices are equipped with cameras, a battery, and a small computer. They use artificial intelligence (AI) to describe the user's surroundings, find crosswalks, read text, and provide GPS instructions. The device can identify a variety of obstacles, whether they are at head level or ground level, moving or static. It also provides audio feedback to the user about these obstacles.

In addition to obstacle detection, Biped.ai is also developing a full GPS navigation feature with turn-by-turn instructions. The device uses three cameras to scan a 170-degree field of view around the user, both during the day and at night.

The company has been beta-tested by over 250 testers and has been used to walk over 1,500km in eight countries. Biped.ai is powered by the Honda Research Institute and has been praised by experts in the field of accessible technology for its potential to be a game-changer.
