Forget pizza, drone to take your dog on morning walk!

  • Forget pizza, drone to take your dog on morning walk!
Move over pizza delivery by drones. Now, a drone can take your dog on a morning walk while you can continue with sweet dreams in bed.
 
Jeff Meyers, an interaction designer living in New York, has posted a video on vimeo.com where one can clearly see a drone taking his Golden Retriever dog on a walk.
 
Meyers hooked the dog with a drone and then monitored the walk using a camera as well as tracking the animal on a map using a GPS device, media reports said.
 
Although the video shows the dog having a smooth walk, the drone obviously can not help him cross the road or save him from other aggressive dogs.
 
But choosing a safe path is a good idea for a drone-dog pairing, Meyers added.
 
In a first, a drone recently delivered pizza in Mumbai by taking the aerial route to a customer in a high-rise building during a test flight.

Opinion: Trash is not ugly
How would it look if the worn out motherboard of a computer becomes your coaster or the headlight of a bike turns into your desk lamp or tyre tube used as a wallet and the door of an old refrigerator as the centre table of your room? This is not wild imagination but creative ways of using scrap and making it look chic.
