You can see how Boston Dynamics' robot dog 'Spot' speaks in the video below.

Spot says in his baritone voice, 'It's a pleasure to meet you. Please tell me your name.' It's really creepy how the mouth moves in time with the voice.



You can also 'converse' by listening to human language. According to the American technology media The Verge, ``Spot has a British accent.'' When the photographer said, ``I love that accent,'' Spot responded, ``I take great care to provide an authentic British experience.'' It was created with care,' he replied, unsure if it was a joke or not.



Looking at the stones packed in the box, he says, ``We have a wonderful collection of stones.'' Spot can process images obtained through cameras.



Boston Dynamics trained Spot using the ``ChatGPT'' API and an open source large-scale language model to make Spot speak, equipped Spot with a speaker, and made improvements so that the mouth could move. It seems that all the lines except the explanation 'There is 〇〇 in this room' are automatically generated.

Boston Dynamics is experimenting with a talking Spot that serves as a 'tour guide.' Matt Clingan-Smith, software engineer at Boston Dynamics, said: 'Developing Spot to talk was a valuable experience. The robot not only follows human commands, but also responds to its surroundings. AI The speed at which technology is advancing is incredible, and I can't even imagine what features will be available in the future.'
