Think there are a few of those around already. Guys at Boston D seem to have a keen interest in creating dog-level general AIs with some pretty impressive robo

  The Boston Dynamics robots don’t have the computational AI equivalence of even a fruit fly - and not even that by many orders of magnitude. Dogs use their intelligence for an awful lot more than just walking around objects. Dogs have complex social hierarchies and social behaviour, a wide range of emotional responses, they communicate, participate in group tactical hunting activities requiring planning and executing coordinated attacks, they exhibit sexual behaviour, they can learn to respond to audible and visual commands. They are also vastly more agile than the Boston dynamics robots, able to climb three dimensional environments, jump through gaps and swim, and they can practice and independently choose to learn to do these things entirely autonomously.

    Not sure I implied that Boston Robotics dogs have dog level intelligence but you have to admit that they are making fascinating progress around HW and robotics. SW/AI side is definitely still at the basic, single function type of intelligent level and will take much longer to achieve. But progress both on HW and SW side and the pace at which the progress is happening is pretty impressive. Clearly, the AI side and the current approaches with the focus on machine learning and neural networks will need to evolve to be much more multifunctional/general. Who knows maybe it will be Machine Learning 2.0... or it might be a completely new approach to AI more aligned to biotech/human brain or maybe something completely else. Time will tell.
