Carroll University students introduce 'Ben-Ben' the robot dog

WAUKESHA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Meet Ben-Ben, that's the official name of this robotic dog. 

Two students at Carroll University in Waukesha showed off their pet project Wednesday, April 29. They told us Ben-Ben can do a shaking hand motion, stand on two legs and can do a little dance. One of the seniors CBS 58 talked to has a vision for this creation. 

"It's kind of like a mascot, an interactive robot dog that is kind of like the face of Carroll University. It's like show up to events, look really cool to a bunch of incoming freshmen," said senior Ben Anciaux. 

These students, Ben and Drake, tell us they'll pass Ben-Ben off to the next group of students. They also tell us that Artificial Intelligence has played a big role in the development of little Ben-Ben.
