Robotic technology has made significant strides in recent years, permeating various industries and reshaping our world. A recent viral video captured a unique intersection of technology and reality at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur, where a stray dog encountered a robotic dog, sparking amusement and fascination among internet users.
The video showcases a curious stray dog exploring the robotic dog, displaying intrigue and a playful demeanor. Despite initial apprehension, the real dog engages with the robotic counterpart, leading to an endearing interaction. Surrounding dogs also join in, curious about the new addition to their environment.
The robotic dog featured in the video is developed by Muks Robotics, as noted by Dr. Mukesh Bangar, Founder, and CEO of the company, who shared the video on Instagram with the caption, ”Funny incident happens with robot dog vs real dog.”
The footage was captured during IIT Kanpur’s ‘Techkriti’ fest, known for its focus on technology and entrepreneurship. This year’s theme, ‘The Cosmic Nexus,’ underscored the festival’s diverse events, including Robogames, Take Off, Software Corner, Mandakini, Model United Nations, Fintech, ECDC, Design, and Technovation.
Internet users expressed delight at the video, praising the fusion of technology and nature and highlighting India’s advancements in robotics. One user humorously remarked, ”He’ll go back and tell his friends but they won’t believe his story!” while another encapsulated the essence with, ”Science meets reality.”
