1. A computer-implemented method for providing robotic assistance continuity to a pedestrian using gait recognition, comprising:
determining, by one or more computer processors, a gait pattern of the pedestrian based on analysis of visual data obtained at a first position;
providing the pedestrian assistance based on a query provided by the pedestrian at the first position;
identifying, by one or more computer processors, the pedestrian at a subsequent position by identifying the gait pattern from analysis of visual data obtained at the subsequent position; and
determining, by one or more computer processors, a need for additional pedestrian assistance at the subsequent position.
