Meet Astro, the World’s Smartest Doberman Robodog That Smell Trouble Before It Happens

Imagine a dog that can not only sit, stay, and lie down but also detect explosives, recognize faces, respond to distress calls, and even help during disasters. Sounds like a character from a sci-fi movie, right? Well, meet Astro, a real-life robodog developed by scientists at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). He’s not your typical robotic toy—Astro is powered by deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI), designed to perform complex tasks that could one day save lives.
