Design and Development of an Intelligent Pet-Type Quadruped Robot

Inspired by the assistance that artificial intelligence offers to artistic creation, we apply AI technology to create the Open Monster C class number 01 (OM-C01), a quadruped robot dog as lifelike as an artwork. OM-C01 adopts a 2-DoF five-bar parallel mechanism to realize the thigh and shank bionic structure. We combine the visual learning system based on few-shot learning and incremental learning with GPT-2 pre-training language model to endow OM-C01 the same learning ability as a pet. OM-C01 can make decisions based on the facial expression as well as its emotional state, and shape a unique personality by updating the Q-table. Meanwhile, we implement a digital twin simulation environment for OM-C01 based on .NET WPF, which is convenient for designing various actions.
