exactly, yet another point in the robot's favour. although here in the UK, I
believe guide dog users are exempt from having to clear it up. I know they used
to be anyway, but not sure if that is still the case now.
and yet another point, is that the robot one should take you to exactly where
you want to go, even if you have no idea of how to get there, and no sense of
direction, where as that would probably be a heck of a lot to ask from the
standard guide dog.

Importance: High
possibly, but unlike the real dog, one won't have to be so concerned about it
getting too distracted by such attention, and the robot one could very easily
even be programmed to say something along the lines of, "buzz off, I'm trying
to do a job here, and you are not helping"

By nature, people are curious. Anything different will attract their
attention. Rightly or wrongly, one of the things I like about being a guide dog
owner is that I feel the attention tends to go to the dog rather than me. A
robot guide dog is likely to draw just as much attention.
