The Indian Premier League is taking a massive leap in broadcast technology. A robotic dog has joined the broadcast team. The IPL social media handle broke the news, showcasing the dog’s capabilities. Former New Zealand cricketer Danny Morrison confirmed the robotic dog’s role in capturing match action.
This isn’t just any robot; it’s packed with special features and cameras for high-quality broadcasting. The dog can walk, run, and jump, and it even responded to Morrison’s commands. Players were surprised to see it shake hands and stand on two legs, impressing Hardik Pandya and confusing players like Axar Patel and Reece Topley.
The robotic dog will capture live match action from unique angles, giving fans a fresh viewing experience. The IPL is asking fans to suggest names for their new robotic mascot.
