G-Dog: Japan’s Newest Robotic Dog
November 11th, 2008
Japanese robot maker HPI will be selling the four-legged robotic G-Dog later this month. The robot dog is powered by a 7.2V nickel metal hydride battery, features nine servomotors and is mostly made of aluminium. It’s sized at 375×135×190mm and weighs 570g. G-Dog can be controlled wirelessly via a Playstation-like joypad. He can sit up and beg, crawl and roll over to its side. Experience tells us that he probably looks cooler then he is, but we shall see.
