00:00you've probably seen a robot that looks quite similar to this one before however this one isn't

00:08helping police or rescue workers in dangerous areas this is the new prototype from the university of

00:13glasgow and it's being developed to help the blind the robot is equipped with myriad sensors

00:18which effectively let it map any area in real time it can then relay that information to a human

00:23allowing them to navigate any terrain without the use of their eyes this is a huge step from

00:28conventional bots you may have seen already as the researchers say some often rely on gps tracking

00:33which is good outdoors but incomplete inside and others rely on cameras however those are limited

00:38by line of sight meaning they have trouble helping the blind around objects and corners this robo

00:43seeing eye dog however uses a series of sensors coupled with its sophisticated artificial intelligence

00:49to both see the world around it and interpret that information this is a whole lot like what a

00:53biological seeing eye dog might do however this ai powered robo dog can provide more detailed and

00:58easily understandable data for its user providing verbal communication rather than barks or trained

01:04responses its developers say this could revolutionize the way blind individuals move around the world

01:09bringing support to the 2.2 billion people around the globe with vision loss
