    I don’t understand the uniqueness. The dog is cute, but what was the significance of the video??? Sorry-please explain. :)

    sorry, it was kind of vague, but I think the significance is that all the stuff the dog was doing was not pre-programmed. It was “exploring” its environment. That’s the hard part about robots is they only do what you tell them to, but the guys who make this one are trying to make a robot that “learns.”
