Researchers develop a six-legged robotic dog for the visually impaired, featuring precise voice recognition and quick navigation assistance.
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.The six-legged robot, developed by Shanghai Jiao Tong University ’s School of Mechanical Engineering, uses cameras and sensors to function and identify traffic signals.
According to researchers, through clever two-way communication, the robot can simultaneously give vocal orders and offer real-time feedback on its surroundings and gait.In China, there are just over 400 guide dogs for almost 20 million blind people. Pet ownership and service animals are relatively new concepts in the country, meaning many workplaces, restaurants, and other public areas are not yet welcoming to traditional helpers like Labradors.
“It’s a bit like cars. I can mass-produce them in the same way as cars, so it will become more affordable. 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
The robot boasts a maximum speed of 3 meters per second, catering to needs ranging from slow walking to running. Its unique six-legged design ensures stable, low-noise movement.is being evaluated through offline demonstrations and functionality tests with visually impaired participants. The development team plans to refine and enhance the robot based on real-time feedback from these users.
