▶️ Mini-Cheetah, the quadrupedal robot equipped with a leash, can guide humans through without crashing into walls, objects or other obstacles
▶️ Algorithms that have been developed on one robotic guide dog can easily be transferred to another
Mini-Cheetah uses
– a 2D light detection
– a LIDAR to sense its surroundings
– a camera on a gimbal to monitor the position of the human
– a force sensor on the leash to gauge the force applied to it and on the human it is guiding
