英语翻译
GUIDE dogs (导盲犬) are good friends and helpers for blind people.Now,a new kind of robot can also do the same job.
NSK,a Japanese robotics company,is hard at work on a robot guide dog.The robot makes good use of wheels (轮子) on its four legs to roll around on the floor.It can also lift its legs to climb up and down stairs.
blind people can give orders to the robot by putting pressure on handgrips.the robot also talks in a female voice to let its human owner know what is going on.
such robots will probably never take the place of real dogs,but they have their own strengths.the can use GPS and street maps to lead their owners to the places they want to go.
