Engineers Create Smart Robodog With AI Brain [Video]

Using deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI), FAU scientists are bringing to life one of about a handful of these quadruped robots in the world. Astro is unique because he is the only one of these robots with a head, 3D printed to resemble a Doberman pinscher, that contains a (computerized) brain. What would you get if you combined Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa with Boston Dynamic's quadruped robots? You'd get "Astro," the four-legged seeing and hearing intelligent robodog. Using deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI), scientists from Florida Atlantic University's Machine Perception and Cognitive Robotics Laboratory (MPCR) in the Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences in FAU's Charles E. Schmidt College of Science are bringing to life one of about a handful of these quadruped robots in the world.
