A joyful video was posted on Instagram by Dr Mukesh Bangad of a stray dog trying to play with a robot dog. The video is from the four-day tech fest 'Techkriti' at IIT Kanpur. 

India is witnessing a rise in artificial intelligence and robotics as technology has become an inseparable part of our lives. Almost all industries are using robots, from the 'Iris' AI robot teacher in Kerala to robotic elephants in temples. We have embraced the technology and are trying to integrate it into our lives. 

A fun and heartwarming video surfaced on the internet a few days ago of a stray dog playing with a robot dog. The video is from IIT Kanpur's Techkriti event and was posted by Dr. Mukesh Bangar on his Instagram. He captioned it, "Funny incident happen with robot dog vs real dog"

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 A dog can be seen trying to play with the robot dog and running towards it enthusiastically. Other dogs also jog around to join the two. The robot dog in the video can be seen trying to keep up with the dog and eventually falls on his back. The robot dog was created by Muks Robotics, a robotic company founded by Dr. Mukesh Bangad. 

This joyful incident is from IIT Kanpur's Techkriti. It is an annual four-day tech festival where students showcase their technical and entrepreneurial skills. This year's theme was 'The Cosmic Nexus' and the event took place from March 14 to 17. 

Many people commented on the post, sharing their thoughts on it. One user wrote, "He'll go back and tell his friends but they won't believe his story!" People online are making jokes and overall enjoying the cuteness of the video. Some people are also joking about the lack of a head and tail on the robot dog and how the real dog must be confused by it.
