It would also have to be able to recognize that shes all the way out the door or all the way in because like any old person shes also really slow sometimes lol. So some sorta motion sensor or whatever would be a must. Im picturing it as a simple unit that just mounts on the corner of a door. Having it be fairly universal to most doors would be good too bc people arent gunna wanna pay to have their whole door replaced...
This is probably a bad idea but i think its along the lies of what you mean. be sure to keep us updated on it because it sounds like itll be cool whatever you end up doing!
alright, I see what you are saying. This needs to be a multifunction robot, but I could include that type of functionality. being directly "activated" by a dog brings a whole new set of issues, but could be worked out. Thanks for the input.

This is they type of robot that I think I will end up going with, a semi-humaniod robot, but with a very different drive system. Instead I will be using a drive base that I developed over the last 2 years that is capable of climbing stairs.
