RobotDog, a robot dog with artificial intelligence that helps visually impaired people by making their daily life easier, was created by a group of students of the 24th General High School, Athens.
The robotic quadruped not only guides visually impaired people to move around correctly, but also detects obstacles and gives clear instructions to these people in order to be safe.
The teenage "entrepreneurs" managed to innovate, collaborate and create their own student start-up within a few months. BlindCare is active in the development of robotic guide dogs, innovative in the support of people with vision challenges.
