Polish Museum Acquires New Robotic Dog

Warsaw mayor Rafal Trzaskowski (dark blue jacket) walks with "Spot", the Boston Dynamics robotic "dog". The Copernicus Science Center in Warsaw, Poland presented its new robotic dog "Spot" on 21 March, 2024. The newly acquired mechanical dog powered by Artificial Intelligence is not strictly meant to entertain visitors but is an example of a new kind of tool that will aid in difficult situations such as during a pandemic or bringing vital supplies to hard to reach places. A new exhibition at the museum allows visitors to control the dog via a screen and have it walk up and down stairs.
