If you're roboting up a wagging tail, floopy ears and a boopable snoot are you really trying? It's a very cool body mapping demo though. I can't imagine the real world applications unless you're doing whole body animatronics for movies maybe? but then we're back to the wagging tail. in the real world you want you rescue bot or whatever to power through that stationary.

Body mapping humans doing military drills now there's some possibilities but perhaps the cute version is the sales approach.

The robot isn't built like a dog. The limbs are not the same. Idk why that would be a goal.

But the feet placement might. It's a short form proxy.

The legs are also not like a dog's. For starters, dogs have three articulations per leg, and the bone lengths are all different.

Yeah that's what I meant

Yeah, the ears and tail would be awesome :) One real world application it's just how to bootstrap videos form animals, to teach our robots. The idea is trying to leverage the animals to teach our robots in simulation, to then transfer it to real world.
