Soon after, the four-legged device unfolds from its folded state and begins moving in a new location.<\/p>\n<p>The robodog\u2019s back mounts armament reminiscent of the Chinese QBB-97 light machine gun.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;The heavy-duty Red Wing Forward drones deliver combat robot dogs directly behind the enemy for a surprise attack, or can be deployed on the enemy\u2019s roof to seize commanding heights and suppress firepower. Ground troops can then conduct a three-dimensional, pincer-like attack on the enemy inside a building,&#8221; the video description says.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Technical specifications of the robotic dog and the drone are unknown. Nevertheless the unmanned aerial vehicle bears many visual features typical of a mid-range, commercially available drone.<\/p>\n<p>A Weibo user shared additional videos featuring other robodogs in similar conditions. It can be assumed that the company specialises in technologies designed for these environments.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2022, a coalition of six robotics companies <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/boston-dynamics-abandons-development-of-combat-robots\">refused to create or support<\/a> the use of the devices and software they developed for military purposes.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2021, the UN recorded the first case in history of a combat drone killing a person without a direct order from an operator. In response, Human Rights Watch called for a ban on the production and use of autonomous weapons.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to ForkLog&#8217;s Telegram news: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/forklogAI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">ForkLog AI<\/a> \u2014 all the news from the world of AI!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video surfaced online showing a Chinese drone transporting a four-legged robodog equipped with a mount to carry weapons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":68471,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"select":"1","news_style_id":"1","cryptorium_level":"","_short_excerpt_text":"","creation_source":"","_metatest_mainpost_news_update":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[438,133,652],"class_list":["post-68470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-and-analysis","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-china","tag-robots"],"aioseo_notices":[],"amp_enabled":true,"views":"23","promo_type":"1","layout_type":"1","short_excerpt":"","is_update":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68470"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68470\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":68472,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68470\/revisions\/68472"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
