AB  - The rise in pedestrian death rate, particularly among disabled individuals and children, necessitates innovative solutions. This research addresses the risks associated with road crossings through the development and testing of a Python-based program on the NAO robot simulator. Focused on identifying key elements contributing to pedestrian accidents, especially involving disabled individuals, the research aims to deploy the program on a physical robot for campus testing. The NAO robot's step-by-step actions, guided by its camera and sensors, seek to assist pedestrians in safe road crossings. Future advancements include integrating advanced machine learning algorithms for enhanced accuracy in pedestrian recognition and crossing actions. This interdisciplinary initiative attempts to contribute to a safer and more inclusive urban mobility environment.
