On a sunny morning in June, I walked to work with a quadruped robotic beside me. I’ve by no means gotten extra consideration from strangers.
A bunch of individuals snapped footage of my robotic canine. A number of individuals requested me questions. Was it mine? (Sure.) Did I construct it? (No.) Was it getting used for surveillance? (No.)
Organic canine saved a protected distance from my mechanical companion. Some growled or barked at it.
