On November 27, the 11th China International Silver Industry Exhibition opened in Guangzhou. The robotic guide dog jointly developed by Yuejia Lingdong and Huazhong University of Science and Technology made its public debut as an innovation in smart elderly care and disability assistance, demonstrating real-environment functions at the exhibition.

From laboratory to application, smart technology opens a new stage of elderly-care services. At the silver industry exhibition, Yuejia Lingdong’s robotic guide dog demonstrated reliable performance tested in simulated home and community scenarios, moving from research project to practical assistive device.

Addressing deep needs with practical functions, the robotic guide dog solves real challenges for elderly and visually impaired users. It supports all-terrain navigation, adapts to indoor and outdoor environments, avoids obstacles, assists with stairs when needed, detects risks, replans routes, and provides voice interaction, medication reminders and emergency calls.

Setting a benchmark for industry-academia-research innovation, the robotic guide dog is both a technology innovation and a successful collaboration model. Combining HUST’s frontier research in robot control and AI algorithms with Yuejia Lingdong’s productization experience, the project created an advanced and practical product for smart elderly care.

From the silver industry exhibition to households, Yuejia Lingdong robots will deepen R&D cooperation with HUST and expand applications in community elderly care, institutional care and visual assistance. They are not only smart tools but new forces for improving elderly services and social inclusion.
