What We Know About Ukraine’s Army Of Robot Dogs


Ukraine is the first country to use quadruped robots in combat. Could they become the foot soldier's best friend?

Video of Ukrainian operations in the Donetsk region shows the robot dog covered by a camouflage blanket made by German suppliers Concamo which makes it difficult to detect both visually and with thermal imaging. It did not take internet analysts long to identify the robots in Ukraine as being Chinse-made Unitree Go2 Pros, which might be seen as the legged equivalent of Chinese-made DJI quadcopters: efficient, high-spec machines easily available at low cost. The Go2 Pro has an intelligent control system with multiple sets of fisheye cameras looking in all directions, plus a powerful 1.5 TFlop processor and smart software which enables it to remain stable even on uneven surfaces or rough ground.
