If robot’s are to truly become more human-like in their behaviors, then maybe they need pets. So the next thing is the Robo Dog. The mechanical beast is a project of an electrical engineering student and a university lecturer at the University of Bradford in the UK.
How interesting would it be to see if the human-acting robots mentioned in yesterday’s post could give the robo dog commands of sit or fetch. This is something I would like to see.
See the university media release for the whole story. Below is the story from The Telegraph and Argus newspaper article.
A Robo Dog capable of appearing happy, hungry or even bored was showcased at a university open day to give employers the chance to see work from this year’s engineering students.
Walkies? Robo Dog can get bored of that
