What do we know about the robot dog?
These days, many companies are making advanced robots. It has become so advanced that we have robotic dogs now! Xiaomi, a phone company, made a new robot dog called CyberDog 2.
In 2021, they launched the first CyberDog. CyberDog 2 is their newest robot dog. Xiaomi made it with better features, which has excited tech enthusiasts.
What can CyberDog 2 do?
CyberDog 2 looks like a Doberman. It's smaller and lighter than the first model. One cool feature is that CyberDog 2 can change its skin colour based on its mood and behaviour. It can do tricks like backflips, skating, etc. It can also play fetch like a real dog (wow!).
A person can interact with it in various ways, such as gestures, touch, and speech (sounds like a real dog, right?). One can even ask it to follow them while exploring the city. One big difference from the old model is how it connects with people really easily.
Unlike the older CyberDog, the new one acts like a real puppy. CyberDog 2 has been created in such a way that its emotions feel more natural. For example, if its owner is happy, it jumps around and wags its tail.
Can it replace a real dog?
Even though CyberDog 2 can do super cool things, Xiaomi says it's not meant to replace a real dog. Both can live together in a house. Using a camera that can transmit to any connected device, people can use the robot dog to keep an eye on their home and their real dog.
CyberDog 2 is only available in China right now. There is no news on whether it will be sold in other countries.
So, do you think robot dogs will replace real furry friends? Tell us in the comments.
