Canine Design Academy of Grooming – www.caninedesign.co.uk. We are an international training school for canine beauticians which operates within a working grooming salon, so we have thousands of dogs on our books for our students to practise their grooming skills on. We are a Pet Care Trust satellite assessment centre offering the City & Guilds Level 2 Intermediate Certificate, which can be taken alongside a training course in the format of assessments in the salon and an on-line test. We are also an examination centre for the City & Guilds Advanced qualification (Level 3) and the Higher Diploma. The staff at Canine Design are all at least City & Guilds Adanced qualified, with the proprietor holding a City & Giulds Licentiateship (Level 4). We believe all dogs in the grooming salon environment should be handled with kindness and respect and we instil this belief in our students. See our website – www.caninedesign.co.uk for further information.

i would like to get my dogs groomed.

It depends on the size of the dog. I had an 80lb. dog that I rescued which was either an Old English Sheep Dog or a Bearded Collie (we weren’t sure which). The local groomer charged me $75 to groom her. Needless to say, I learned to do it myself.

This is the culmination of my last year’s work. I control the robot’s arms through the Kinect and Wii remotes. I control the robot’s navigation through the Kinect and treadmill. I control the robot’s head through the head mounted display (HMD). I also see through the robot’s eyes with the HMD.

After doing this exercise, it became apparent that the next feature to add is hearing and speaking through the robot. Luckily both the NAO and my HMD have microphones and speakers so this shouldn’t be too difficult.

This was the second try accomplishing brushing the cat. On the first try we discovered that the positioning of the brush in NAO’s hand needed to be flipped 180 degrees from the intuitive direction.

The low framerate is because my ancient laptop can’t handle doing a screen capture with all this stuff going on.
