Astro is the only quadruped robots with a head\u20143D-printed to resemble a Doberman pinscher and house a computerized brain (via Alex Dolce\/Florida Atlantic University)<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

Who’s a good boy? Astro, the four-legged seeing and hearing intelligent robodog.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using deep learning and artificial intelligence, scientists from Florida Atlantic University’s Machine Perception and Cognitive Robotics (MPCR) Laboratory are bringing Astro to life<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A robotic tail wagger is not exactly new: Boston Dynamics has been honing its all-electric Spot<\/a> lineup for years.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Astro has a head start\u2014literally.<\/span><\/p>\n

FAU’s quadruped features a 3D-printed noggin (designed to resemble a Doberman pinscher) that contains a computerized brain.<\/span><\/p>\n

He doesn’t just look like a dog, though. He learns like one, too: Astro is being trained via deep neural network to learn from experience and perform real-life tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n
