Robot Dog Therapy

[cthero10]

does the dog poop out nails and screws or does the thing piss oil

[nikigurl08]

I thinks its okay to have robotic animals for nursing homes, because a lot of the times they can't bring their pets w them. But lets face it a robotic dog does not form that special bond you get with a real dog. I mean i'm sure the ppl get a kick out of seeing the robots. But if the ppl in the nursing home are orientied they'll know it "NOT REAL." Now if they can get a robotic dog to RUN when its called to ppl, and it has a tongue that moves in and out and its has the experisions i'll be impress

on offence to all of you who think that a robot dog can never compare to a real dog but i have been building robots for years and robots can be built to do a whole lot more then any toy robots real dogs on the other hand are expensive, dangerous, they carry illness and have a lot of other draw backs that dog loves never seen to think about.

[nikigurl08]

An animals is much more complex than a computer. Robots are complex yes, but they lack having billions of cells that have specific function. And how are service dogs such a draw back. Because they have needs like us? Because they poop and eat food? I'm sure robot have their cons to like needing to recharge their batteries, they gotta run off some sort of energy. And how are service dogs so dangerous? If its because you think they'll turn than you've obvioulsy never been around a service dog.

[ryetallon1]

human beings dont pick there friends by counting brain cells and no service dog on earth can out work a real robot dog.

[nikigurl08]

I take it you and your computer are best of friends than lol! And you never did answer my question as to y a service dog is such a draw back and y their so dangerous. And sorry but robots arent that advanced. The most advance robots we have can't even run and keep their balance.

[ryetallon1]

can you honestly say police dogs, military dogs, guard dogs, watchdogs, hunting dogs, farm dogs, lead dogs, and junk yard dogs never bite or that they only bite when they are suppose to? in america there about 4.5 million dog bite victims annually and each day 1000 people are sent to the E.R. by dogs bites and as for robots keeping there balance that is not a hard thing to fix.

[nikigurl08]

Dogs are very stable animals. Dogs are what their owner make of them. Dogs that bite most of the time do it outta of fear, because they were abused, or not socialized. The other reason a dog will bite is because it feels it alpha and will get possevive over food or something, but that can be fixed easily with good training. Your obviously not a dog person so you probably should stick with a robotic animal.

[ryetallon1]

nikigurl all of that maybe true but that is litte confort to a victim of a dog attack and it dosent help a parent whos child had been malled by a dog. i dont hate dog the fact is we spend 41 bilion dollars a year on pet care in this country on top of the one billion we spend treating dog bites annually if every one had robot dogs thats 46 billion that could go to fight world hungey or to cancer research ect we would all be safer and the world would most likely be a better place.

[nikigurl08]

Okay first off robots aren't exactly the cheapest thing ever either. And obviously you've never a real bond with an animal. Getting rid of the pets we have would make a lot ppl miserable! A fuckin robot doesn't have a unique personality its jus a computer with a program tellin it what to do!

[ryetallon1]

there was time when millions of people were sure they would never give up there horses but alone came henry ford my boyhood dog was a collie name lester as a teen my dog was duke and i had a black dog name ninja 10 years ago i am not asking any one to give there ordinary dog (they dont live forever) but whos to say that unique personality inst just a matter of unique programing robots dogs are mans creation the future and the best choice.

[nikigurl08]

A robot dog could never truely replace a dog. And a car has taken the function of a horse, but ppl still remain having horses, for companionship, and leisure riding. Riding a car, is nothing like riding a horse. Sure a car is useful in its place, but its cannot replace a horse a together. Same with a robot dog, they may get to the pt where they use robots to do some of the same functions of a dog, but not replace a pet dog!

[ryetallon1]

the point is that most people had to keep horses just to get around and for farm work they didnt have a choice but now a days most people dont have the money,space or desire to own horses and cars have replaced horse for work and i beleve the same thing will eventually happen to ordinary dogs and i beleve that we will be better off.

[nikigurl08]

You obviously never had a really good bond with your dogs. Jus cus you have a dog doesn't mean u had a good bond, especially if you'd easily replace them with something that's not alive! Robots don't have feelings! And dogs are highly intelligent animals with an innocence to them. that's y so many ppl love their pets. Dogs don't jus give us companionshion they make us happy, they make us better ppl.

[nikigurl08]

I mean a robot does what you tell it too, whats the fun in that! I want to teach my pet to do stuff, not program the damn thing. You get a bond, and you feel a sense of accomplishment when your dog learns from teaching. And dogs teach us not to be selfish, if they need fed or a walk, they don't let you sit on your ass and not do anything. ANd dogs don't have an off button, so you don't say i'm done with you. PPl who want robots instead of a real pet are selfish with their time.

[ryetallon1]

nikigurl108 alot of your statements are based more on your personel feeling then the facts you said that "dogs mosty bite out of fear" you claim that i have never had really good bond with a dog and all people who own robots are lazy. you cant prove any of this dogs have a lot of draw backs that you eather over look are blame there owners for robots and computers are geting better all the time and you dont know what they will abel to do in the next few years.

[BetaWolfRunner]

Robots stiil cant compare to unconditional love.

[BlakePlayWoW]

the robot dog that is

[BlakePlayWoW]

aww those old people are cute with the dog

[MajesticWolfRunner]

The robot cant compare with real dog compassion for people though next thing you know real service dogs will be put out of service.

[nikigurl08]

I highly doubt that will happen anytime soon. They can't even get the speed and balance of a dog, and what they have out now is much more expensive than a service dog. Plus if you were blind would you trust a computer. Computer are good at what they do but the body is much more complex than what a few engineers can put together.

[Johnnyjsj]

lol wouldn't it be perfect if the dog barks: "You have no family that looooves yoooou" every time? ^_^

[cory18011801]

ok u need some kind of fake dog skin and eyes and just stuff like that and make it look real

[RosaryGirl777]

Thats cool

[tiop52]

this is retarded i mean its plastic

[dogsbone07]

Aibo is an artificial intelligence dog...its not crazy. its just as good as any other dog.

[ErinKeechak]

except it can't look at the patients with those "puppy dog eyes" lol

[BUSHSUCKSCOCK]

thanks for the correction jermd, I was just on a roll...

[BUSHSUCKSCOCK]

so retarted! it'd be much better if they made it look like a (stuffed) animal. Or better yet a freakin' stuffed animal!

[jermd1990]

It's "retarded," retard.

[buttdagger]

Plastic piece of crap.

[MrSummerMadness]

this is so retarded omg..

[Jianju69]

I would never be satisfied with a pet dog devoid of personality & emotions.

[POOPTURTLE]

Fuck you Youtube, fair use will be shoved up your ass.

[TsukasaFanTc]

they are also great for people with dog allergies ^^

Maxism -- 17. Definitely and absolutely, nuclear weapon cannot be used offensively by any normal people except the psycho.

Maxism -- 18. Iran must not have nuclear weapon because Iran already declared that it was for offense.

[jefboyardee]

And robot dogs don't puke in the middle of my damn living room.

[tienesloscojones]

hahaha
