Technological robot dog owners seem to want it to kill people rather than teach it to fetch, roll or play dead.

If you browsed the internet this morning, you may have come across this photo of a robot dog with a gun.

When filmed indiscriminately, the bot can move without human intervention and the video can switch to a Call of Duty-style first-person angle.

So far, it’s very scary. But sometimes not everything is what you want.

It looks like a robot dog from Boston Dynamics known for dancing and walking in Pompeii, but it’s not.

Instead, it is a Chinese-made Unitree “Yusu” machine gun equipped with a Russian PP-19 Vityaz machine gun.

The sight is often switched to a GoPro mounted on top of the gun (credit: Twitter)

The attached team linked the points of the video and found that it was first posted on the YouTube account of Alexander Atamanov, the founder of the Russian aero bike company.

Other posts on Atamanov’s social media channel show him firing the same gun and posting with a robot dog elsewhere. This leads us to believe that this is a self-made project, not some shadowy Russian plan to arm Robodog.

Unfortunately, the idea of ​​attaching an automatic weapon to a robot dog is not new.

An American company called SWORD International tried something similar last year.

He set up an assault rifle behind a Philadelphia-based Phantom Robotics four-legged unmanned ground vehicle (or Q-UGV for short).

He then called it a SPUR (or Special Purpose Unmanned Rifle) and posted the photo on Instagram.

An automatic rifle can now be attached to the back of a robot dog

According to Ghost Robotics, SPUR can remotely fire the first round from the loaded state, clean the chamber as well, and protect the weapon if needed.

With a tracking system on board, soldiers can control creatures through apps installed on military-issue tablets.

This particular weapon has not yet been used by the US military, but the US Air Force has used some unarmed versions of the Q-UGV.

Therefore, Russia may want to catch up with or without Atamanov’s help.
