Sure, Boston Dynamics is selling a $75,000 Spot robotic dog, but KODA wants to offer something more affordable ($45,000 – $55,000). That’s not all, this one is designed for more than just a few simple tasks, it’s capable of interacting socially with its owners, thanks to the company’s blockchain-enabled decentralized AI infrastructure. This means it can be used as a family companion, seeing-eye companion, guard dog, or even a supercomputer that helps you solve complex problems.
Utilizing a hybrid AI model of both centralized and decentralized engines, this robotic dog’s brain not only processes the challenges it encounters throughout the day, but each one in the pack. All are connected to a secure blockchain network allowing for an industry first decentralized AI mind, whether it be sharing data points, processing optimal solutions or learning skills while it forgets the remaining superfluous data. Features include four 3-D cameras, a 13-megapixel camera on the front of the head, enhanced anatomical design, 14 high-torque motors with 2 motors on the neck, and an 11 Teraflop processing unit.

KODA is a marriage of design and science. It is a functional piece of home technology, a family pet, and a piece of art all at once. KODA represents access to computing power few have ever had in the home before. Those who take this opportunity to be an original owner of a KODA, will be able to watch its decentralized AI in action as it evolves from a puppy-like state to a robotic dog with the intelligence of a supercomputer,” said Emma Russell, CEO of KODA.
