[NFBWATLK] FW: [Tech4theblind] How will guide dogs react to service robots?

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
I had a dream a while back that I had a "guide robot." People thought it was
great because I didn't have to take it out several times a day, feed and
water it, or even care about it. It was shaped kind of like a suitcase on
wheels but it had "arms" and stuff.  It was purple; I remember that.  It had
a button to push if you wanted the wheels not to roll. It had other buttons
on it, too. They were large enough one could manipulate them with gloves on.
I remember commenting on how I never wear gloves unless I absolutely have
to.  

The "robot" had a pouch on each side to put belongings and a water bottle
slot on the back. It had tones that could be set like we set ringtones, for
alarms and stuff. It made quite a lot of sound under various circumstances.
I think you could plug a headset into it. I think it was even regulation
size for flying. I took it on the train with me and kids came up out of
nowhere wanting to see it. Adults were curious too, but stood back watching.


When I woke up my radio was playing rather loudly so that must have
influenced my dream. I was kind of disappointed that it was just a dream. I
had even named it Robby the Robot. Haha. 
Thanks,
Lauren
