Rifle-Armed Robot Dogs Now Being Tested by Marine Special Operators
MARSOC is using robotic dogs equipped with remote weapon stations to detect targets automatically before being given approval to fire.
Ghost Robotics describes its Q-UGV as a "mid-sized high-endurance, agile and durable all-weather ground drone for use in a broad range of unstructured urban and natural environments for defense, homeland and enterprise applications."

It's becoming very clear that what was once fodder for science fiction tales is now quickly becoming a battlefield reality, and highly agile robot dogs, capable of going into extremely risky or inaccessible areas, and even dealing out deadly force in the process, are now on the horizon.
