Robotic Dog (Star Frontiers)

Robotic Dog is a term that both refers to highly Cybernetic and purely mechanical canines. Dog is a term used by Humans for canines and these robots have been built to resemble them. Some are military, some are security, but most are consumer products. Robotic Dogs are considered low maintenance and sometimes billed as the more obedient alternative. Animal lovers with allergies and the elderly count as common owners alongside robotic pet enthusiasts. Robotic Dogs are most commonly level 4 robots.
==Programming==
Robotic Dogs are programmed to take actions resembling those of a dedicated and well behaved canine companion. They are also programmed to interact with someone (typically Human) in a fashion Humans are accustomed to such as playing fetch or performing a number of tricks. Consumer versions are not typically designed to bite though security and military ones are and thus require programs letting it know when such is appropriate action. Some are programmed to interact with specific objects that come as accessories for the unit- metal bones or balls with signal emitters letting the dog know where the object is. The more advanced ones use defines to recognize a ball though this at times can have unintended effects. They may act as if exhibiting emotions though most are defaulted to 'happy'. Feeding if programmed is generally the task of recharging save with some Cybernetic Canines.
