Uncanny valley: Astro the robodog has strange eyes

Scientists from Florida Atlantic University recently conceived a "robodog" named "Astro" which incorporates advanced artificial intelligence (AI) frameworks. It is somewhat reminiscent of Boston Dynamics' Spot. Astro can learn by itself using inputs to a deep neural network. The robot is rather unique due to its 3-D printed head which resembles a Doberman's. But… its eyes have made a few tech commentators uncomfortable.
