Abstract:
Self-navigation technology proves to be among the most advanced methods
for locating specific positions. However, it remains challenging to accurately determine
desired locations within intricate building structures using self-navigation. This research
introduces a cutting-edge Self-Navigation and Interface System designed to address the
complexities of indoor navigation in diverse environments such as universities, banks,
shopping centres, and restaurants. The system leverages microcontroller technology as its
control system, featuring a bespoke app interface integrated with microcontroller and
Bluetooth modules. The app, accessible via system-installed touchscreens or mobile
phones, empowers users to effortlessly select specific location points, streamlining navi
gation within intricate indoor spaces. A key highlight of the system is its utilization of
LED lights; each assigned a unique color, to guide users along the optimal path leading
to different destinations. This innovative approach provides clear visual cues enhancing
user orientation. Moreover, when transitioning to different indoor locations, the system
seamlessly incorporates a map display feature through the app, offering users a compre
hensive view of their surroundings. The microcontroller-based control system ensures the
synchronization of LED lights and map displays, offering users a user-friendly and effi
cient means of navigating complex environments. Bluetooth modules facilitate real-time
communication between the app and the system, ensuring timely updates and responsive
interaction. This research contributes to the advancement of self-navigation systems, par
ticularly in multi-story buildings where traditional navigation solutions may fall short.
The seamless integration of microcontroller technology, LED lights, and Bluetooth mod
ules establishes a robust platform for creating an intelligent and accessible self
navigation experience. The proposed system not only streamlines navigation within di
verse indoor environments but also enhances user interaction through an intuitive app in
terface, thus addressing the evolving needs of modern navigational systems.
