A university has developed a talking robot guide dog to help the blind - powered by sophisticated AI.

Experts from the University of Glasgow have partnered with leading charities to develop the RoboGuide.

The four legged robot is designed to help blind people navigate through public spaces independently.

The prototype uses a series of sensors on the dog-shaped body to map and assess its surroundings, paired with software which enables it to interpret the data and avoid obstacles in real time.
