Riyadh - Cheers and laughter from enthusiastic visitors were often heard when a Chinese robot dog captivated visitors with its dance moves at the Future of Media Exhibition (FOMEX), which was held in conjunction with the Saudi Media Forum in Riyadh from Wednesday (19/2) to Friday (21/2).
In addition to dancing, the robot dog amazed visitors with various interactive movements such as jumping, stretching, shaking hands, cheering, pouncing, and sitting quietly.
Fascinated, visitors eagerly took out their phones to capture the performance, and lingered in front of the booth."What a smart dog!" said a blogger from Bahrain after the robot made a heart sign with its fingers. "I'll post the video on social media."

A visitor from Saudi Arabia was drawn to the robot dog's emotional appeal. "This robot can be an intelligent companion... I would love to buy one!" Osama Imam, a visitor from Istanbul, Turkey, tested the robot's stability by pushing it several times.
