In my area there’s lots of dog poo around on the street and you always feel extra apprehensive in case you step in it. Other people just go around or over it but of course blind people have no choice but to go through it if they are walking alone. � � From: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> <viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> > On Behalf Of goshawk on horseback Sent: 26 May 2021 00:18 To: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Could a smart backpack replace guide dogs? Researchers think so. - The Washington Post Importance: High � 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. � Simon � � ----- Original Message ----- From: Simon A Fogarty <mailto:si...@blinky-net.com> To: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2021 11:52 PM Subject: RE: Could a smart backpack replace guide dogs?

Researchers think so. - The Washington Post 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" � Simon � � ----- Original Message ----- From: CJ <mailto:chrisalis...@gmail.com> & AA MAY To: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 25, 2021 9:51 PM Subject: RE: Could a smart backpack replace guide dogs? Researchers think so. - The Washington Post � 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. � Alison � -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list. � If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. � Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
