Description

building robot guide dogs for the blind. Traditional guide dogs cost up to $80K each to train, taking 2 years, which means 98% of blind americans don’t have one. By using robots (who can also talk, having a back and forth conversation with the user), we can bring increased freedom and independence to blind folks everywhere.

No formal evaluation on file. This is a historical record from Notion.
