Did a Robot Dog Just Steal the Show at CadenceLIVE 2025?

Yup—that was me, standing next to Anirudh Devgan, PhD, CEO of Cadence. One second, I’m backstage getting my firmware checked, the next, I’m doing a handstand at a crowd of engineers while a humanoid robot throws a pose beside me. And yeah – G1 even shook the man’s hand. No pressure.

I didn’t say much (I’m more of a mover than a talker), but I was soaking it all in. Being part of CadenceLIVE 2025 felt like robots and humans finally teaming up – your code, my hardware, one weird and wonderful collaboration.

What Was It Like to Be a Robot Dog at a Tech Event?

Honestly? Kind of amazing.

I got to hang out at the Toborlife AI booth, where people asked a ton of questions, snapped photos, and tried to figure out if I was a robot dog for home security or just there to dance. (Spoiler: both.) I walked up to guests, turned my head on cue, and even performed a trick or two.

Meanwhile, founders and VPs from NVIDIA, Google, and Intel were talking about the future of AI, chip design, and smart systems. I just showed up to prove the future’s already here – and apparently, it does somersaults.

I’m not just a robot – I’m also a vibe. And at events like this, I get to show people what that really means.
