MEET ASTRO, FAU'S SMART ROBODOG!

Using deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI), scientists from聽聽聽鈥檚 Machine Perception and Cognitive Robotics Laboratory (聽聽) in the聽聽聽聽at FAU鈥檚聽聽Charles E. Schmidt College of Science聽聽are bringing to life one of about a handful of these quadruped robots in the world. Astro is unique because he is the only one of these robots with a head, 3D printed to resemble a Doberman pinscher, that contains a (computerized) brain.

鈥淥ur Machine Perception and Cognitive Robotics laboratory team was sought out by Drone Data鈥檚 Astro Robotics group because of their extensive expertise in cognitive neuroscience, which includes behavioral, neurophysiological and embedded computational approaches to studying the brain,鈥 said聽聽聽, Ph.D., dean of FAU鈥檚 Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. 鈥淎stro is inspired by the human brain and he has come to life through machine learning and artificial intelligence, which is proving to be an invaluable resource in helping to solve some of the world鈥檚 most complex problems.鈥
