First things first. What are guide dogs? Guide dogs are dogs that help blind people get around places. So then how is technology related to this? David Roberts is a guy who helped make this thing called smart collars and smart vests. These things collected data and it can also detect partners. David Roberts is trying to quantify it so it can collect a variety of factors. This collects the light from the outside, pressure, temperature, heart rate of the dog, and activity levels of the dog, and humidity of the dog. So the more data it collects, the more accurate the results are. With this information, it can save thousands and thousands of dollars in training.
