The first thing that went into my mind when I saw the word “dog” and “network” generated was the barking network scene “Twilight Bark” in 101 Dalmatians. Hence, I would like to create an “cyborg extension” to this concept, making the communication network between dogs and human possible.
Paper are used to make a “collar” that the dog can wear. Batteries are integrated in small units inside the collar body. I used my embedded systems development board as the integrated board containing the microcontroller, translation module, signaling lights and antenna of the device. The bar on the left and right represents the microphone and speaker respectively. When the dog barks, its meaning can be translated instantaneously and sent to humans in the form of electromagnetic waves. The benevolent humans can now join the rescue of the 101 Dalmatians from Cruella de Vil without she knowing.
