What has thick fur, runs on solar power, and screeches at wild boars in 48 different tones? Give up? It's 'Super Monster Wolf', Japan's latest mechanical answer to keeping unwanted visitors from ruining crops.
Chikao Umezawa, head of agricultural cooperative association JA Kisarazu-shi (Japanese): "We made the robot for the purpose of preventing the damage to field crops from wild boars, and also to prevent them from harming the residents in the town."
Chikao Umezawa, head of agricultural cooperative association JA Kisarazu-shi (Japanese): "It makes 48 different sounds, and they can reach up to 1 square kilometers. By using the solar panel, its power can be supplied automatically."
Chikao Umezawa, head of agricultural cooperative association JA Kisarazu-shi (Japanese): "It has been almost one month - we put it on on July 11th - and no wild boars have shown up so far."
Chikao Umezawa, head of agricultural cooperative association JA Kisarazu-shi (Japanese): "The robot has the highest artificial intelligence function - which is made with Japanese precision instruments - so we utilise it very much, and we also want to minimise damage everywhere in the world."

The DoggoBot is a 4 legged walking robot which uses 4 servos controlled by an Arduino Nano. It can receive input via a Bluetooth or a serial connection.
A robot dog I made. All parts were 3D printed. Controlled by Arduino.
Two engineers try to create an immortal dog in John Scalzi’s short story “A Model Dog.” In this animated adaptation, an overbearing CEO demands that his employees engineer a solution to his dad’s aging dog.
First test of my new robot dog. It is based on Arduino and the new Lynxmotion Smart Servos. The chassis was handcrafted with aluminum and there are other parts also handcrafted with high impact polystyrene. The legs are completely made with brackets from the new Lynxmotion Servo Erector Set (SES V2).

You may have noticed the green tape on the feet... it is temporary, and serves to reduce the friction caused by the rubber tips (this should be corrected with improvements in the code)
Each leg has 3x ST1 servos (Lynxmotion Smart Servos) and they are controlled by an Arduino Uno and an Lynxmotion LSS Adapter Board.

The Guide Dog Robot Project started in the 1977 fiscal year at MEL (Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, Ministry of International Trade and Industry). The project's goal is to enhance mobility aids for the blind by providing them with the functions of guide dogs, i.e., obedience in navigating or guiding a blind master, intelligent disobedience in detecting and avoiding obstacles in his/her path, and well-organized human-machine communication which does not interfere with his/her remaining senses.

Owning a robot dog is fun and educational, so is having Lynxmotion’s mechDOG! As you can see, walking and transporting lightweight items can be easily achieved by this development platform. With its 12 degrees of freedom and an Arduino-based sample code, users have full control over its movements: dynamic and static gaits, along with the body pitch, body roll and height adjustment, and all motions combined together! mechDOG is designed to be a robotic development platform where users can add additional parts like sensors, single board computers and more. It’s based around the Servo Erector Set (SES) v2 system, which uses the compact, modular and configurable Lynxmotion Smart Servos (LSS).
