CTOnews.com, September 6 (Xinhua) in order to help the visually impaired, students at the D-ITET Program Learning Center of the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Z ü rich) have developed a robotic guide dog that can use artificial intelligence technology to navigate and avoid obstacles independently.

The researchers say they are not trying to replace real guide dogs, but rather to provide a cheaper alternative or apply it to rescue operations.

CTOnews.com noticed that their robotic seeing eye dog, called RoboDog, adds new sensors and computing units to commercial quadruped robots. " The goal of RoboDog's flagship program is to help blind people navigate their daily lives, "said Davide Plozza, a doctoral student." training guide dogs costs a lot of money, and our goal is to develop a robot system that can navigate independently in an invisible environment and guide blind people to avoid obstacles. "

The goal of the RoboDog project is to participate in the International Robotics Congress quadruped Robot Challenge to be held in Japan in 2024.
