This is Tati, the 70 year old cybernetic dog! It was found in a French antique shop and adopted by Dr. Daniel Dennett, Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University.
He has written books, published papers, given lectures, and reached out to the public, since finding the mysterious creature and still hasn't traced it's origins. So I'm joining the effort to keep this search alive!
Tati is such an amazing piece of ingenuity and creativity! Especially from a time when very few knew what robots even were, let alone how to build them!
I'm hoping to shed some more light on this robot and perhaps find it's original creator!
