About Robuddy Awtonomong Aso Gabay
Ang Robuddy ay isang awtonomong robot na aso gabay na inspirado ng misyong bigyan ng kapangyarihan ang mga may kapansanan sa paningin o pandinig. Sa pagtanggap sa malalim na epekto ng mga tradisyonal na aso gabay, pinagsasama ng proyektong ito ang advanced na teknolohiya at empatiya upang magbigay hindi lamang ng functional na tulong kundi pati na rin ng emosyonal na suporta. Sa pamamagitan ng makabagong sistema ng nabigasyon at komunikasyon, inilalarawan ng proyektong ito ang isang kinabukasan kung saan nagsasama ang inklusibidad at independensya, na muling binibigyang-kahulugan ang larangan ng mga assistive devices.

- Production Technology
- The main structure which carries main components and batteries is made from lightweight titanium. The outer shell's production methods consists of additive manufacturing as well as plastic molding proccesses. Plastics such as polycarbonate are used to achieve semi-transparency in parts where integrated screens, sensors and cameras are placed.
- Design Challenge
- The social impact side of things was to reduce any risk of animal abuse while training. A robot guide dog won't experience pain or stress, making it less susceptible to abusive practices. This can be especially relevant in situations where sadly, trainers might resort to harsh methods.
The challenge in the design process was to create a robot guide dog within real dog dimensions. Balancing intricate technology, sensors, and maintaining a compact size demanded meticulous engineering. - Inspiration
- Inspired by the loyalty and assistance of real guide dogs, Robuddy seeks to replicate their impact through innovative technology. Merging functionality with emotional support, Robuddy aims to redefine accessibility for individuals with visual or auditory impairments. Addressing a common challenge faced by traditional guide dogs, Robuddy ensures unwavering focus and reliability, free from distractions that may hinder real dogs.
- Project Duration
- The projects first development started in 2021 in Ankara, and for this version, it finished in December 2023.
- Operation Flow
- Users control it through a user-friendly smartphone app or simple gestures. For deaf users, information appears on built-in screens and also the smartphone app, while blind users receive guidance through Bluetooth earphones and movement feedback from the collar. It mimics real dog behavior, responding to commands and offering companionship, making it an intuitive and accessible assistive companion for those with visual or auditory impairments. Integrated screens on both the body and face areas are used to also communicate with people around if needed. The tail acts as a status light to show Robuddy's status to people nearby.
