Guide dog 1
Ref 15248

Pictures must credit:Unitree
Engineers are developing a programme for four legged robot that could one day see it take over from guide dogs to help the blind and partially sighted.
It would be able to guide users safely around the streets like a real canine but could also interact by having conversations.
More importantly, a guide dog, known as a seeing-eye dog in the USA, can cost up to $50,000 USD / €47.400 euros in the States to train while the owner must pay the usual upkeep for food and vet bills.
The robot being tested is an A1 model quadruped made by Chinese company Unitree and costs around $15,000 USD / €14.200 euros.
That is still a big saving but more basic robots are available for a tenth of that.
A team at Binghamton University, New York State, in the USA led by Assistant Professor Shiqi Zhang presented a demonstration in which the robot dog led a person around a lab hallway, confidently and carefully responding to directive input.

Dan Gardner wanted to know when to go to the loo during films - so he built an app
The developer of RunPee, Dan Gardner, the app that tells cinemagoers the best time to take a loo break, on what makes a good 'peetime' and how the program helped him meet his wife
reated out of personal necessity by North Carolina-based developer Dan Gardner during a near three-and-a-half-hour King Kong screening, RunPee is an app that tells film audiences the best times to nip to the loo.
RunPee CEO and founder, Dan Gardner poses for a portrait at a movie theater in Asheville, North Carolina on Monday, September 18, 2023. RunPee is an app that was developed by Gardner and his wife to let movie goers know when the best time is to take a bathroom break during a movie.

'Right place at the right time': freeports model gives fillip to St Helens regeneration scheme.
Parkside project conceived almost a decade ago is among hundreds poised to benefit from tax cuts and other incentives.
Since the last shift at Parkside colliery in St Helens clocked off in 1993 and its two shafts were capped, nature has progressively taken over: scrubby silver birches have seeded themselves on the hardstanding all over the huge site alongside the M6, which once employed 2,000 local people.
But peer through the trees and the piles of fly-tipped junk this week and there were signs of life: bulldozers were busy working on a taxpayer-funded access road, to join this long-neglected site to the adjacent motorway.
It is the first stage of what St Helens council, which owns a 50/50 stake in the project with the local developer Langtree, hopes will be a 1 million sq ft distribution hub, and ultimately an even larger manufacturing centre, bringing potentially thousands of new jobs.
Looking across the East Float dock in Birkenhead, part of the Wirral Waters development on the banks of the river Mersey. Wirral Waters will form part of the Liverpool City Region Freeport, which was announced recently by the Conservative government.

Parkside project conceived almost a decade ago is among hundreds poised to benefit from tax cuts and other incentives.
Since the last shift at Parkside colliery in St Helens clocked off in 1993 and its two shafts were capped, nature has progressively taken over: scrubby silver birches have seeded themselves on the hardstanding all over the huge site alongside the M6, which once employed 2,000 local people.
But peer through the trees and the piles of fly-tipped junk this week and there were signs of life: bulldozers were busy working on a taxpayer-funded access road, to join this long-neglected site to the adjacent motorway.
It is the first stage of what St Helens council, which owns a 50/50 stake in the project with the local developer Langtree, hopes will be a 1 million sq ft distribution hub, and ultimately an even larger manufacturing centre, bringing potentially thousands of new jobs.

The development will form part of the Liverpool City Region Freeport, which was announced recently by the Conservative government.

Manchester opens first new park in 100 years, complete with 'scary' slides
A delight for kids, one of the slides will take riders over the largely forgotten River Medlock.
Manchester's first new city centre public park for 100 years opened its gates on Wednesday and has eight slides declared "so scary" by delighted children given the first go.
There are eight slides in total at Mayfield, which is nestled between the Mancunian Way, the city’s ring road and Piccadilly Station.
Originally developed for a printing factory during the Industrial Revolution and later used as a railway station and parcel depot, the 24-acre site has lain derelict for decades but has been brought back to life in a £1.4bn public private partnership.
The opening day of Mayfield Park, the first city centre park created in Manchester for more than 100 years. The new 6.5-acre space, touted as a "once-in-a-generation opportunity", is part of a £1.4bn development to transform the area between Piccadilly station and Mancunian Way, running along the River Medlock.

Manchester's first new city centre public park for 100 years opened its gates on Wednesday and has eight slides declared "so scary" by delighted children given the first go.
There are eight slides in total at Mayfield, which is nestled between the Mancunian Way, the city’s ring road and Piccadilly Station.
Originally developed for a printing factory during the Industrial Revolution and later used as a railway station and parcel depot, the 24-acre site has lain derelict for decades but has been brought back to life in a £1.4bn public private partnership.
The opening day of Mayfield Park, the first city centre park created in Manchester for more than 100 years. The new 6.5-acre space, touted as a "once-in-a-generation opportunity", is part of a £1.4bn development to transform the area between Piccadilly station and Mancunian Way, running along the River Medlock.

Manchester opens first new park in 100 years, complete with 'scary' slides
A delight for kids, one of the slides will take riders over the largely forgotten River Medlock.
