Voice-based Mobile Application for Indoor Navigation

This thesis covers the development of GuideMe, a mobile web application developed during an internship process in IBM. The application allows locating many of the rooms which belong to IBM facilities in Madrid. This is done by means of either written or spoken natural language sentences, making use of artifcial intelligence services. These services are provided by IBM cogni- tive proprietary software IBM Watson. Firstly, an approach to the problem is done, as well as to the proposed solution. Previ- ous work done related to the issue and the development and improvement of the diferent technologies employed to solve it has been studied and is also discussed along the thesis. Throughout the document, diferent sections which cover the whole development of the project will be described: the frst approach to the solution, the scheduling and work techniques and methodologies used by the development team, the diferent technologies employed during the project completion, the coding stage and the fnal solution and future lines of work. This memoir also includes an economic analysis of the resources employed in GuideMe completion and the solution impact in social and economic environments, as well as a sys- tem requirements evaluation for both functional and non-functional ones.Ingeniería Informátic
