How much is that robot doggy in the window?

Robot pets

In July, the Chinese company Unitree announced Go2, the second generation of its robotic dog. Not only can you take this pet pooch for a walk, it also performs backflips, handstands and takes photographs. A smart speaker allows it to respond to your commands, just like a real dog. Costing from £1,270, Go2 might be the latest robo-pet on the market, but it certainly isn’t the first. For many years, scientists have been working to make machines that can do everything a real animal does – and leave a lot less mess to clean up afterwards.
