Humans Teaching Robots to Fight Back

In this article by Live Science, Tia Ghose reveals that a robot dog that can fight off a human has been created. There was a video of a robot dog refusing to let the human get in his way of opening the door. It is said that when the dog is trying to open the door and a human comes to try to move the dog away from the door knob, the robot dog continues to open the door and stands there while the human tries to move him away.

Normally, robots are made to help humans and perform tasks that humans wouldn't want to do themselves, and this robot dog has these features. However, this robot dog created by Boston Dynamics isn't designed to help people in a disaster situation. He is more like an assistant, and he has more capabilities than a disaster robot. This robot is designed to be able to maneuver through challenges like doorways. slippery floors, and other obstacles. Giving robots the ability to fight back to their creators makes them more and more like humans. Maybe in the future, robot pets similar to live animals will be created and replace them.
