Development of a wearable device to provide electronic assistance to search and rescue dogsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - - Trang 1-16 - 2024
Marcello Scarpel Contini, Luiz Eduardo G. Martins
The dog’s ability to find people and indicate their location is biologically
efficient; however, this work suggested that it is possible to increase dog
performance by associating it with technology resources. Dogs are trained to
search and rescue, working under the supervision of their handlers efficiently.
Also, the handler can identify signs of animal stress or fatigue that may
compromise the a... hiện toàn bộ
