Robotic Junkyard Dog


Robot dogs are being developed to be closer to the real thing, but they're pretty costly to the average person. The Robotic Junkyard Dog is better suited for people who want a nifty robot for only a small amount of money. At just about $129.95 and supposedly made from scrap, you can get your own pet dog able to do up to 80 different moves. From different head movements, to tail swagging, to moving around freely, this robot dog even has infrared sensors to detect obstacles and even stairs. A simple remote can be used to command 18 tricks. One strange thing is the dog seems to be programmed to malfunction from time to time, in which case the owner has to reset its circuits.
