Hello

I would like to know if there are any tech nerds here who are interested in robots and AI.
I'm a consumer not a programmer... but it's still my great passion.

I've been fascinated by the subject since I was a child.
It all started with the Tamagotchi (Digital Monsters / Digimon Edition).
In between, there were also Furby toys that drove my parents to despair.
Later, the first high-tech robot dog from Sony, Aibo.

In the meantime, I and my robot dogs have grown up.
I also have an interest in 3D design/printing and construction - otherwise Sparky wouldn't exist.

Please don't be prejudiced, but look at it from a different perspective.
Because one thing is particularly important to me, as I have already heard very rude comments:
A robot dog will never and can never replace a real dog.

In my circle of friends there are some people with physical disabilities who cannot keep animals.
It gives them emotional support that helps them with their daily tasks.

Thank you for listening
