The canine can pass the narrow space like a door and walkway and take a photo of target objects.In this video by “ImPACT Tough Robotics Challenge” the dog is fitted with a vest that has ‘on-suit light sources,’ which shine on the ground in the direction it should go.
This was done by using the remote-controlled system. The dog moved between the desks to arrive at the target location by following the light stimulation which was specified by the operator.
