An important problem of robot guides is solved with this robot dog
roboguideIn fact, it solves some very important problems of the robot guides we have seen in the past. One of the researchers, Dr. “The problem with the current four-legged, two-legged and wheeled robot is that the technologies that enable them to find their way limit their ability to assist the visually impaired,” Olaoluwa Popoola said. says.
Dr. Popoola, your robot guides They use GPS He had difficulty in closed spaces, camera He also states that the robots that use it have limited vision. Their prototypes use many sensors together to identify objects around them.
With the special software developed, the robot dog can move between various points. optimal way It can find and keep a record of the obstacles it encounters.
