Support 4 Sight invites you to talk on Robbie The Robot Guide Dog by Wasim Ahmad on Thursday, August 22nd 10.00 at am on Zoom

Support 4 Sight as part of the award winning Rainbow Collaboration of small sight loss organisations are delighted to announce our next event.

In a world where technology seeks to improve our lives, could the traditional guide dog have a hi-tech competitor?

Robbie the RoboGuide, developed by the University of Glasgow, integrates sensor and AI technologies into a walking robot body, creating the possibility to navigate, communicate and describe environments.

One of the motivations behind the project is to create a cheaper alternative to guide dogs, as well as equip people to extend their senses and help fill the gaps when shortages are training up and placing new guide dogs.

Also we will have our usual Q and A session on any aspect of assistive technology if anyone has a question they want to explore.
