China's robot dog aids blind people with 90% voice recognition accuracy | The robot guide dog can reach speeds up to 3 m/s, accommodating both slow walking and faster paces. Its six-legged structure guarantees stable, quiet motion.
Researchers develop a six-legged robotic dog for the visually impaired, featuring precise voice recognition and quick navigation assistance.
I think this could be a very large market, because there might be tens of millions of people in the world who need guide dogs,” Professor Gao Feng, the head of the research team at the institute’s School of Mechanical Engineering, told Reuters. According to researchers, implementing the guide robot extends beyond the device itself; it relies on backend big data support, a robust operations and maintenance team, and comprehensive promotional tests. In a similar project, engineers at Binghamton University’s Computer Science Department in New York have been developing a robotic guide dog to improve accessibility for the visually impaired.
