Recently, there has been a trend in the world where robotic dogs are starting to take a leading position in the robotics market.
The Chinese company Tecno demonstrated its first robot dog at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, which took pride of place among high-tech dogs. Technological features of the robot:
- Dynamic 1 is equipped with a headlight system that illuminates its path and serves as an indicator for interacting with people.
- It is powered by an ARM processor that provides dynamic stability, fast recovery after a fall, and speeds up to 3.7 meters per second.
- The robot has a number of Intel RealSense D430 cameras and sensors that allow it to avoid obstacles.
- The device is equipped with a 15,000 mAh battery that allows it to operate for up to 90 minutes.
- The Dynamic 1 is equipped with a 45 N m\kg torque system and knee joint cooling.
- Four AI microphones allow the robot to recognize human voices.
- The robot dog is equipped with HyperSense Fusion AI technology.
- Dynamic 1 has 64 Gb of built-in flash memory and connectivity via Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2
The developers at Tecno claim that they created Dynamic 1, inspired by the look and habits of the German Shepherd.
They said: “Dynamic 1 has been carefully designed to replicate the movements of a real dog as closely as possible.” Although the robotic dog doesn’t look as friendly as a real animal, it is supposed to show everyone the company’s view of the future.
A future that sounds like a dystopia in which people live with robotic dogs that are advertised as requiring less care than real pets and therefore having more benefits for people. What can the Dynamic 1 robotic dog do?
- Dynamic 1, based on artificial intelligence, can climb stairs, bow and shake hands.
- It can respond to voice commands because it is equipped with four microphones and an AI-based voice recognition algorithm, according to the company.
- The Dynamic 1 can also respond to a smartphone app or remote control thanks to its Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.
This first generation of artificial intelligence robotic dogs may face mistakes and adaptation issues, but it is a significant step toward integrating robotics into everyday life.
“We love dogs so much that we idealize an immortal metal version of them,” says Tecno Mobile, recognizing the potential of robotic pets to provide companionship in new ways.
So, it is not yet known whether the Dynamic 1 will be available for purchase.
However, TECNO used Mobile World Congress to strengthen its reputation in the field of AI and advanced robotics.
