In Monterrey, Mexico, a new AI-powered robot dog named “Waldog” is drawing attention to animal abuse and welfare.
About the size of a beagle and equipped with a friendly, metallic voice, Waldog chats with children and adults about animal rights. “Hi, I’m Waldog, and I’m here to give a voice to those who don’t have one- the animals who live on the streets,” he told a group of smiling residents in Santa Catarina on 8 August.
His mission, Waldog explained, is to promote awareness about the treatment of animals.
The project was funded by Federal Senator Waldo Fernandez of Monterrey, who spent $4,084 of his own money on the robot and named it after himself. Operated by remote control and always accompanied by an adult, Waldog is designed to foster kindness and responsibility toward both animals and people.
Fernandez also noted on Instagram that Waldog will have practical uses- spotting street litter, identifying potholes, and registering stray dogs.
While robot dogs have been deployed in disaster search and rescue operations and are being developed by U.S. authorities for border patrol, Waldog’s current focus is local. Over the coming weeks, it will visit schools, public squares, and neighbourhoods across the Monterrey metro area and, inevitably, appear in plenty of selfies.
