Robotic dogs will roam a U.S. military base
The U.S. military is also trying to get in on the action. Last March, the U.S. Air Force announced plans to bring dog-like robots developed by Ghost Robotics and Immersive Wisdom, to “add an extra level of protection to the base.” The robo-dogs, called Quad-legged Unmanned Ground Vehicles.
The robots are intended to patrol remote areas of the base to provide extra levels of security. In the press release, the military said they were attracted to the dogs due to their ability to operate in low temperatures and rough terrains. Those dogs also reportedly come equipped with a “crouch mode” that lets them squeeze through difficult-to-access areas.
