mabfanOnly this time, the robot dog is helping people to lose weight. From New Scientist:
(All right, so it's not really K9 doing this. It's still a robot dog! Now if only they had equipped him with the nose laser as a deterrent... "Do not eat that cheesecake, mistress, or I will be forced to shoot you!")
A ROBOT dog that monitors your daily food intake and exercise levels and warns you not to eat that cheesecake could encourage people to stick to their diets.
The health-conscious pooch connects wirelessly to the dieter's pedometer and an electronic diary of their eating habits, to calculate their daily calorie intake and expenditure.
