The new robot dog will join Ameca, the museum’s AI-powered humanoid, along with Bob the robot barista and the museum’s flying robots, among several others.
Visitors at the Dubai Museum of the Future will be able to interact and play with the new robotic pet.
Robodog is an advanced robot that uses machine learning and navigates the terrain with unprecedented mobility for a robot. It will roam the museum lobby greeting and interacting with all those visiting.
Designed by US tech firm Boston Dynamics, Dubai Museum of the Future’s new robot dog uses 360° perception to map terrain and avoid obstacles and can balance on uneven surfaces. The robodog’s base platform provides advanced mobility and perception to navigate stairs, gravel, and rough terrain while collecting 2D and 3D information with on board-sensors.
The Museum is home to a collection of the most advanced technologies and robots in the world which includes but is not limited to Ameca, the AI-powered humanoid robot, Bob, the robot barista, a robotic flying penguin, and a flying jellyfish, among many others.
“We are excited to welcome the latest addition to our family of intelligent robots. With Ameca, the robodog, and others, the Museum of the Future enables visitors to meet some of the most cutting-edge and advanced robots and AI systems currently on the market,” said Majed Al Mansoori, Deputy Executive Director at the Museum of the Future.
“We welcome visitors to come and meet our interactive robots and learn about the technologies that are shaping our future today and tomorrow.”
The Museum of the Future is inviting people on social media to name the robodog. Individuals can suggest names via the museum’s social media handles including Twitter and Instagram.
