Cyberdogs

Part dog, part video recorder. This could be very useful for search and rescue type missions, for example after an earthquake. It's also a demonstration of how small and light weight camera and storage devices have become.



I wonder whether you could do monocular SLAM from a dog mounted camera. Cameras are so small now (for example the ones used in mobile phones) that multiple cameras could be used on the device to produce a real time composite 360 degree view around the dog - the doggy egosphere. The possibilities for dog related gadgets are endless.
