Robot dog designs become more hyper-realistic and functional as time passes and technological innovation advances. What seems to have been a distant dream is now a reality and tech-savvy professionals are driving it even further. Hengzhi Future Team recently debuted a slick and elegant robot dog design. A goal of the practice was to create a hyper-realistic robot canine. To do so, the Hengzhi Future Team "studied how the limbs of these real animals moved and then incorporated them into modular connecting rods using an AIA actuator motor unit." Thus, the robot's movement design takes cues from the musculoskeletal construction of real dogs.
Hengzhi Future Team's robot dog is aptly named Sparky, "an alternative to a pet for those who cannot afford to keep a dog."
