Robot dog learns, adapts like humans, AI startup says… Digital nervous system…

A Swedish AI startup company has created a robot dog named Luna that has a functional digital nervous system capable of learning and adapting like humans and many animals, the company, IntuiCell, said on Wednesday.

In one of the first-use cases of physical agentic AI, which can make decisions and take actions towards specific goals rather than just perform narrow tasks or generate content, the robot dog would be able to learn like a real dog. 

IntuiCell will hire a dog trainer – instead of integrating a generative AI model and vast datasets – to teach Luna to walk, based on how neurons interact and process information, it said.

Intelligent machines could be sent to Mars, for example, to build future habitats for people, an environment where the robots cannot be pre-trained and would need to be able to solve problems as they arise, he said.    

While Luna can currently stand up on its feet, the robot dog would perceive, process and improve through direct interactions with the world…
