TECNO’s Dynamic 1, a robotic dog inspired by the German Shepherd, made its Indian debut alongside the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) during the IPL 2025 season. This event marked the robot’s first appearance in India following its global unveiling at MWC 2024 in Barcelona.
A New Era of Robotic Companionship
Dynamic 1 is equipped with a 15,000 mAh battery, offering up to 90 minutes of operation. Its modular design allows for quick battery swaps, ensuring minimal downtime. Powered by an AI HyperSense Fusion System and an 8-core ARM CPU, Dynamic 1 features an Intel RealSense D430 depth camera, dual optical sensors, infrared sensors, and four microphones. These components enable the robot to navigate its environment, recognize voice commands, and perform tasks such as climbing stairs, shaking hands, and doing handstands.
