K100 gives an extra set of eyes for the K9 Dog squad - Yanko Design

Canis familiaris squads have been helping the police force for a long time at present, however refinements in their functioning have not been very significant. Hoping to give this a boost is the K100, K9 Canis familiaris & Law Advice System past Lu Zheng and Pontus Edman

Substantially, this 2-way device sets up a camera on the back of the canine and provides a live feed to the receiving display that is strapped onto the forearm of the K9 officer. Information technology aims to requite a amend view of what the lead law dog is seeing, when information technology is in the forefront.

Information technology also allows the trainer to communicate with the canis familiaris, which can exist helpful in stressful situations.

Designers: Lu Zheng, Pontus Edman & in collaboration with FLIR.

Research

"When we visited the K9 Law force, it became clear that they had the interest and need for ameliorate equipment. Still using the whistle, paper maps, compasses supported by simple GPS-tools and com-radios," Zheng told Yanko Design.

"Whistle works well over short distances simply couldn't be used over larger areas. The GPS-tool provides the alive position of the dog, nix more. They were talking about how to remove unnecessary processes in the workflow to give them the freedom and mobility they would demand to execute their duties."

Epitome

"We built over twenty prototypes with different materials to exam the best fashion for the production to fit on user and dog. The prodoucts are compact and all element are integrated in the haversack and monitor on the arm. All parts were milled for 3D printed, 72 unlike parts come together and made the final prototype."

Final – Police & K9 Dog Communication

The K100 is an office-to-dog solution that allows police office to come across the position and a live camera feed of both natural and infrared imaging from the dogs perspective.

A stabilized photographic camera unit is mounted on the dog. The unti also has vibrations control and vocalism-commmand speaker to give the function a certain communication with the domestic dog in a free-running situation over larger areas.
