The French army included Boston Dynamics’ Spot in trials
Spot was one among several robots shown off by the French military last year during a series of trials meant to demonstrate how robots can work alongside armed humans. Soldiers reportedly used Spot to conduct several reconnaissance tasks over a two-day trial.
Images of the operation show a small group of armed soldiers leading Spot through buildings. The tests weren’t perfect though. In one case, Spot reportedly ran out of battery and had to be carried out away from the test site. Bad dog!
