There was a collaboration training between China and Cambodia, in which China introduced Two Robotic Dogs, their latest technology which combines Robotics and Artificial Intelligence for replacing their members to conduct reconnaissance, identify enemies, and attack targets in the battlefield. These machines are truly astonishing with their build and features.
One of the robots is meant to be used only for reconnaissance in enemy territory and is controlled by the military command post. This Robot dog weighs around 15 kilograms and is equipped with a 4-dimensional wide-angle perception system and a high-tech wireless transmission system, which can provide real-time transmission of the reconnaissance footage to the command post. Batteries embedded in its abdomen can power the whole system from 2 to 4 hours based on usage. As you can see, this mechanics is most similar to the Spot by Boston Dynamics; we can expect the same efficiency in locomotion. Talking about the stated 4D Wide Angle Perception system, it could possibly be using perception sensors such as multiple cameras, radars, and LiDAR systems which are used to sense the presence of things around it, find obstacles, and scan the whole area seamlessly. It is said that it can even plan routes and avoid obstacles by itself with the help of a powerful built-in AI System.
Interestingly, the other robot that is bigger in size and weighs up to 50 kilograms is even equipped with a rifle on its top with dual-axis movement control and a remotized gun triggering system. This robot dog can quickly move under the guidance of the human operator. With the combination of advanced robotics and blazing remote control technology, it can be navigated to various terrains efficiently with real-time communication between the operators.
This technology has a greater welcome among the soldiers as they don’t need to risk their lives for conducting reconnaissance.
