Who’s a ‘Good Boy?’ Astro, FAU’s Smart Robodog @FloridaAtlantic #FAU @raspberry_pi @adafruit

Who’s a ‘Good Boy?’ Astro, FAU’s Smart Robodog (video) –

Using deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI), scientists from Florida Atlantic University’s Machine Perception and Cognitive Robotics Laboratory (MPCR) in the Center for Complex Systems and Brain Sciences in FAU’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Science are bringing to life one of about a handful of these quadraped robots in the world. Astro is unique because he is the only one of these robots with a head, 3D printed to resemble a Doberman pinscher, that contains a (computerized) brain.
