Luna, a robot dog, equipped with a digital nervous system. The robot was created by a Swedish Artificial Intelligence start-up. Unlike other robots, Luna can learn and adapt like humans or animals. This is one of the first cases of what is known as a physical AI agent, which can make decisions and perform actions, in a somewhat autonomous way. “We have created the first software that allows any machine to learn like humans and animals. And to understand this better, you can imagine a newborn giraffe in the savannah or a newborn baby.
They come into existence with very little information about the world around them, they don’t even know their own bodies, but they have a superpower. They are able to understand things from scratch, without the need for a huge amount of data that can cost billions of dollars. We manage to understand the world around us by interacting with the environment. Our technology enables machines to learn in exactly the same way,” explains Intuicell CEO Viktor Luthman.
So, the Luna robot will be able to learn from its environment, just like a real dog. For Luna to learn to walk, the company will need to hire a dog trainer, rather than installing a generative model powered by Artificial Intelligence. The company’s next goal is to create robots that resemble humans, to be sent into unpredictable environments such as space or the depths of the sea.
