In recent news, it is reported that starting Q3 of 2023, visually impaired visitors of Gardens by the Bay’s Flower Dome can rent a robotic guide dog to navigate the park on their own, with no human guide needed.

This service is seen to be another step forward for Singapore to create a more inclusive environment for all. It is said that the robotic guide dog was pre-programmed with a complete tour route for the Flower Dome, and it covers all the main plant exhibits.

Moreover, during the tour, the robotic guide will provide audio guidance, introducing the varieties and characteristics of various plants. Additionally, when the robotic guide dog senses an obstacle, its sensing system will automatically stop or avoid the device, making it very safe to use.
