From performing simple duties to advanced tasks, robots have entered practically every industry and are changing the world we live in. In the past decade, robotic technology has improved dramatically. Recently, a video showcased what happened when technology and reality crossed paths. The delightful video, taken at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur captured a stray dog's reaction to encountering a robotic dog.
In the video, a curious dog is seen running around the robot dog, intrigued by its design and build. The real dog, though a little apprehensive, tries to playfully engage with the robotic dog as the latter tries to reciprocate its moves. Meanwhile, other dogs are also seen trying to figure out the presence of a new dog in their territory, as they circle the duo.
As per the text inserted in the video, the robotic dog has been created by Muks Robotics. ''Funny incident happens with robot dog vs real dog,'' the video was captioned on Instagram by Dr Mukesh Bangar, Founder and CEO of Muks Robotics.
