The Chinese Army surprised the world by revealing its newest technological ally: the “robot dog”. This robot dog promises to revolutionize the way ground combat is carried out, bringing significant advances in surveillance and direct support to soldiers.
Aerial drones have already proven their worth in combat, but ground-based drones still face many challenges. Irregular terrain, natural obstacles and the need for high autonomy are some of the problems. To overcome these difficulties, the Chinese Army developed the “robot dog”, a dog-shaped robot equipped with high-definition and infrared cameras, as well as sensitive microphones.
The dog shape was chosen for its agility on difficult terrain, such as gaps and stairs. Furthermore, the “robot dog” is compact enough to be easily transported and has a high level of mobility. In videos released by the Chinese Army, it is possible to see these robots armed with rifles, acting alongside human soldiers on invasion and patrol missions.
The “robot dog” is controlled remotely and can follow a pre-determined route, stopping when it detects any unexpected movement or sound
It alerts its human operator to possible unauthorized presence. This capability is crucial to ensuring the safety of soldiers and checking for explosive traps in hallways and rooms.

In specific missions, the “robot dog” can attract the enemy's attention, allowing human soldiers to attack from the flanks. This robot is also useful for checking the security of areas, ensuring that soldiers are not surprised by traps or hidden enemies.
With the development of the “robot dog”, the Chinese Army demonstrates its commitment to advancing military technology, providing greater safety and efficiency for its soldiers. This robot has the potential to become a soldier's best friend on the battlefield, performing essential functions that help save lives and increase the effectiveness of military operations.
Robots can be useful for terrain reconnaissance, disabling traps and even providing cover for soldiers.
