China unveils rifle-firing robot dog in joint military exercise
A Chinese soldier informed that the robot dog weighs 15 kilograms and is equipped with a 4D wide-angle perception system
In the video shared, the robot dog can be seen walking, hopping, lying down, and moving backward while being controlled by a remote operator. In the video, a Chinese soldier informs that the robot dog weighs 15 kilograms and is equipped with a 4D wide-angle perception system.
"It can serve as a new member in our urban combat operations, replacing our (human) members to conduct reconnaissance and identify (the) enemy and strike the target," a soldier named Chen Wei said in the video.
With batteries and a power system in its abdomen, the robot dog can operate for two to four hours, the video claims.
In the video, the rifle-firing robot dog can also be seen leading an infantry unit into a simulated building.
The ongoing China-Cambodia "Golden Dragon 2024" joint military exercise involves the participation of 1,315 Cambodian military personnel and 760 Chinese soldiers. The Golden Dragon exercises have been held regularly since 2016, around the same time that Cambodia canceled similar exercises with the United States known as Angkor Sentinel.
Earlier, in November 2023, in a joint exercise held in China, involving the Chinese, Cambodian, Lao, Malaysian, Thai and Vietnamese militaries, rifle-armed robotic canines were shown.
