A touching encounter between a robotic dog and stray dogs at IIT Kanpur's annual Techkriti festival has gone viral online.
A robot dog made by Muks Robotics is approached by inquisitive stray dogs at the beginning of the video. The stray dog is intrigued by its mechanical counterpart and tries to interact with it by sniffing. The artificial dog rolls around on the ground in a fun manner, mimicking the dog's actions. In addition to showcasing the amazing potential of AI-powered robotics, the video captures the playful nature of a stray dog.
Users have expressed their opinions about the unique interaction, and the post has received a lot of engagement. While one user wrote, "The dogs are terrified," another said, "This is amazing!" Viewers have responded well to the video, which provides an insight into how animals approach technology powered by artificial intelligence.
Given the speed at which robotics and AI are developing, these interactions offer important insights on how living things respond to AI. Moments like these highlight the changing link between technology and nature as IIT Kanpur continues its groundbreaking research.
Such intriguing exchanges have previously occurred at IIT Kanpur's Techkriti event. Another widely shared video from the event in March 2024 showed a stray dog interacting with a robotic dog, underscoring the festival's inventiveness.
