Robot dogs aren’t some new innovation, but one that can back to your sounds like science fiction. Researchers at Binghamton University say they have already built one, and it is meant to help the blind.
The team from the university describes an AI-powered robotic guide dog system designed to aid the visually impaired users navigate indoor spaces while also communicating with them during the journey. The big twist is that it uses large language models (LLMs), specifically GPT-4, to make the robot more conversational and responsive than a traditional guide dog could be.
How does the AI guide dog work?
According to Binghamton University, the system was developed by Shiqi Zhang, an associate professor in the School of Computing, and his team. Zhang stated that the project shows how robotic guide dogs can go beyond the limits of actual guide dogs, who can only understand a
