AI-enabled collar can detect emotions in dogs to tell owners how their pets feel

A South Korean company has created the world's first AI-powered dog collar that can analyse the emotions of canines and help owners better understand their feelings. The collar has been designed by Petpuls Lab Inc. and uses a database of over 10,000 bark samples from over 50 breeds of dogs to analyse the feelings in canines. The collar can analyse and detect five different emotional states in dogs — relaxed, anxious, angry, sad, or happy.
