A South Korean startup company named Petpuls developed an innovative product that will help dog owners understand their beloved pets better. Their smart dog collar uses artificial intelligence to “translate” dogs’ emotions based on their barks, effectively telling the owners what their pets are trying to communicate.
The Petpuls collar uses voice recognition technology to monitor the emotions of dogs and understands if they are happy, sad, angry, relaxed, etc. To be able to do this, the company created an algorithm using 10,000 samples from 50 different dog breeds. The dog owners get the data delivered to their smartphone app.
“It comes with an activity tracker and rest tracker. With the activity tracker, it will show how much activity has been done, based on the calorie consumption analysis. At the same time, the rest tracker shows how much rest the dog needs or how tired the dog is,” said Andrew Gil, the company’s director of global marketing.
Their collar sells for around $100 and it’s the perfect gift for a dog owner in your life. We’re sure we’ll see many more products like this in the near future!
