But I see a downward trend in this regard. I also see a lack of demand for good quality software, so there is that.
Perhaps if there was a confined area that was impossible to harm the dog then that would be a big maybe once the robot has been proven to not have hardware and software bugs that could cause the dog to be harmed by the robot itself. I do not foresee this occurring in our great great grandchildren's lifetimes. Those that jump the gun a.k.a. risk takers will be causing unnecessary harm to dogs.
Teach the dog that you aren’t the alpha, and you shouldn’t expect a well-behaved dog at all.
That's like building a robot to have sex with my partner for me.
