The futuristic version of man's best friend is about to take over the Space Force Station. The U.S. Space Force is trying to automate some security tasks at the space station by using robot dogs.
The Space Force released a few images of its personnel operating the two robot dogs at the demonstration. According to the Space Force, the robots are intended formanual and repetitive tasks, as well as damage assessments and patrol to save significant man hours.
They aren't fluffy or need lots of belly rubs, but they are meant to look like military dogs. The menacing creatures have been tested before, but they haven't always worked out. The New York Police Department had to put down its robot dog. When a video of a robot dog with a gun on its head was shared on social media, people were worried.
Ghost Robotics built the robot dogs used by the Space Force. The company wrote on its website that they are unstoppable, with the ability to get back up from any slip, fall, or failure. The robot dogs can run on their own or be commanded by a human.
The Air Force has used the dogs at its bases for over two years. The robot dogs will be used to patrol areas that aren't desirable for human beings and vehicles.
