Today, I'm focusing on creating AI for a robotic guard dog. I need to create convincing procedural animations for this character.

I'm working with the basics of IK and interactions with the environment. I've set up a system where the dog adjusts its steps based on the ground distance. It's progressing slowly but surely.

Checklist for procedural animation:

• IK system in place
• Fixed point on the ground
• Target attached to the body
• Raycast for height detection
• Move foot if the distance is too large
• Add delay for a zigzag pattern
