AI-powered robot dog mimics human learning process
A robot dog that learns and adapts like living creatures, without relying on massive datasets or pre-training, potentially paving the way for advanced humanoid robots.
Swedish AI startup IntuiCell has introduced Luna, a robot dog with a functional digital nervous system that enables it to learn and adapt like humans and animals.
Unlike traditional AI models that rely on vast datasets and pre-training, Luna learns through real-world interactions.
The company has even hired a professional dog trainer to teach Luna how to walk, mimicking the way neurons process information in biological systems.
CEO Viktor Luthman described Luna as a breakthrough in AI, allowing machines to learn without requiring high-powered data centres or offline simulations.
The technology, he says, could eventually lead to advanced autonomous robots capable of operating in unpredictable environments such as space and deep-sea exploration.
Future iterations could assist in disaster response or even contribute to constructing habitats on Mars.
Founded as a spin-off from Lund University in 2020, IntuiCell has received funding from Sweden’s Navigare Ventures, Norway’s SNÖ Ventures, and the European Union.
The company believes that Luna’s capabilities could mark a significant step forward in the development of humanoid and autonomous robots, with applications far beyond current AI-powered machines.
