This LiDAR-equipped, 30-pound robot dog can be yours for $1,600

It's not quite as good as a Boston Dynamics bot, but it is a lot cheaper.

Ah, a LiDAR-equipped robot dog for the low, low price of $1,600! Who needs Boston Dynamics when you can have your very own budget-friendly robo-pooch? Sure, it might not be as refined or sophisticated as its more expensive counterparts, but hey, beggars can't be choosers. This 30-pound metal mutt is here to wag its robotic tail and roam around with that fancy LiDAR technology. Just picture yourself strolling through the park with your mechanical best friend, turning heads and confusing real dogs everywhere. And hey, if it's anything like a real dog, maybe it'll even chew up your favorite slippers or chase squirrels with unwavering determination! The future sure is strange—and surprisingly affordable!
