We need this for babies :)

I'd say we need it for dogs, but we all know what they'd say. "feed me! Pet me! Hi, my name's Roger! Feed me! Pet me!"
Many many years ago I had a small contract with an animal research group making some of the gear for doing this with dogs and cats. My understanding is the project didn't get great results. They basically could make predictions that were slightly worse than a dog trainer could.
Was a fun project for me.
Honestly, any decent dog owner can read the signs that their dog makes in terms of basic communication. We co-evolved after all. I don't know how much a dog translator would be especially useful.
This is off memory but I think the motivations were
- pure science
- monitoring the state of dogs for all the hours a person can't be there to watch them.
"SQUIRL!!!"
