"They look like they were cast straight from an episode of Black Mirror, and eventually, their mission could be similar in some ways, but for now, robot dogs are stretching their legs in the big test exercise environment for the United States Air Force.

Last week, the U.S. Air Force hosted the second demonstration of its new Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS), a digital battle network system designed to collect, process, and share data among U.S. and allied forces in real-time.

Robot dogs are the way to go: Loyal, disciplined, obedient, protective, fearless.

You really don't want to see the mess a robot dog can make on your carpet…

Millenia of evolution have given canis domesticus (the common dog) an unparalleled sense of smell and the ability to work with humans. Irreplaceable!
