A quadruped robotic dog (Robodog) developed by students of IIT Kanpur drew massive attention at the AI Summit 2026 held at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi. The innovative machine, designed to operate in hazardous environments, was showcased as one of the summit’s most compelling technological demonstrations. Its capabilities make it particularly useful at construction sites, oxygen-deficient zones and areas where engineering inspections are difficult or unsafe for humans.
