Roomba Inventor Unveils AI Robotic Pet

KQED FM Berlin 12d9d Impact 3

US artist Beeple has released an installation featuring a pack of AI-controlled robotic dogs in a Berlin national gallery basement. One dog was described by a visitor as being eager to please. Each mechanical dog is equipped with an internal camera to capture its surroundings. The dogs use AI to reinterpret these images and release Polaroid-style prints from their rear ends. Beeple stated the work addresses consumerism and pop culture. The source noted that the robotic dogs snap at visitors and leave printout visions of the world on the gallery floor. It remains unclear who will be responsible for cleaning up after the installation. The artwork is currently displayed in a gallery. The inventor of the Roomba robot vacuum unveiled a lifelike, AI-fueled four-legged robotic pet.
