A robotic dog is a machine designed to mimic the appearance and behavior of a real dog. These devices often feature advanced technology, including sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence, allowing them to interact with their environment and respond to commands. They can perform various tasks, such as walking, sitting, and even playing games, making them popular for entertainment and companionship. Robotic dogs are used in various fields, including education, research, and entertainment. They can help teach programming and robotics concepts to students or serve as companions for individuals who may not be able to care for a live pet. Some models are also designed for specific tasks, such as search and rescue operations.
