Summary- Trained dogs are smart enough to find bombs, drugs, people, and the safest way to cross the street. But to do so they need their handelers near by. Now scientist have made new system that could turn canines into remotely guided "super dogs" that can take on risky tasks. They designed a harness equipped with GPS, sensors, a processor and a radio modem that connects wirelessly to computer system. In the trails, the dog followed directions 80% of the time, and the computer issued correct commands 99% of the time.
Opinion- I think its really great that they are making these things for the police dogs. Wouldn't it be awkward for the dogs to carry something so heavy? Since they are going to use them with the cartels wouldn't the people notice the harness? I wonder why the dog followed directions 80% of the time? I wonder if they are smarter than we are?
