Technology has advanced significantly in recent years. This has also brought advances in the field of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence, which is actively used in every part of our lives, makes great contributions especially in the field of health.
Finally, another important development took place. So much so that artificial intelligence is now coming to the aid of visually impaired people. China developed a robot guide dog. So what are the features of this robot? Here’s all you need to know…
What are the features of the robot guide dog developed in China?
As it is known, there are millions of visually impaired people in the world. These people use other senses such as hearing, touch, taste and smell to perceive their environment. However, unfortunately, this may be insufficient in some cases. Although a trained dog can be purchased for this, sometimes this may not be possible. The robot guide dog developed in China seems to come to the aid of the visually impaired.
Researchers at Northwestern Polytechnical University in Xi’an, China’s Shaanxi province, developed an artificial intelligence-supported robot guide dog in response to the fact that there are more than 17 million visually impaired people in the country.
This robot dog, which is still in its early stages of development, will make the lives of visually impaired people much easier. So much so that, according to the information conveyed, it can understand human instructions, chat and even guide people in various environments such as streets, streets and indoor spaces.
The research team says that this robot is much more suitable for visually impaired people than a normal dog, as it guides the person more safely. This means it can improve people’s quality of life.
Researchers are still in the early stages of development. The work done by the team, which is reported to be very hardworking, can improve the quality of life of millions of visually impaired people. New developments regarding this will emerge in the coming months.
