Robodog Reacts to Kindness - Don't Beat Your Robot Dog

Created by five interaction design master students, this robodog responds to positive / negative scenarios going on around it. The creature will drop its head, whimper and collapse down if faced with "carbon monoxide, cigarette smoke, alcohol, too much dark lighting, hitting and yelling." He'll then perk right up, when you get him out of the situation. I think anyone can learn about the environment and how to treat an animal with this robodog.
