What? for real, a robot guide-dog? Check this short article out! Bad idea: Robot seeing-eye dogs by Tim Hornyak November 18, 2011 10:04 AM PST The NR003 is to be commercialized, eventually. (Credit: NSK) Japanese bearing-maker NSK has developed a robot guide dog for visually impaired people that can do some of the things a real dog can do. But it's a far cry from man's best friend. Recently shown off at the iRex 2011 robot trade show in Tokyo, the imposing, black NR003 has a somewhat unusual design--four legs with wheels instead of paws. It's designed to tackle stairs, going up and down by walking, and rolling with its wheels on flat surfaces. Users hold a pressure-sensitive, variable-length handle on the robot while being guided around. The machine has obstacle and distance sensors in its head and legs to detect stairs.
