Cyber-Enhanced Working Dog
The Cyber-Enhanced Working Dog (CEWD) is a four-pound dog harness that is wrapped around a working dog, such as a search and rescue dog. In its current status, the apparatus is a prototype developed by computer tech researchers at North Carolina State University and it provides nearly 100 ways[1] to communicate with a dog wearing one, through vibrations produced by the harness and voice commands sent through speakers.
The harness could help future dog search and rescues; it can detect gas leaks and it is also equipped with microphones and cameras to help assist in rescues. It has an eight-hour battery life. The apparatus can also detect the dog's stress level, which is considered both an important factor to establish how much to prolong a search and rescue, as well as something that can shorten the dog's life. To work with Cyber-Enhanced Working Dogs, it is necessary for the dogs to be specifically trained.[1][2]
