It looks like something out of the dystopian show “Black Mirror,” but it’s just the latest adaptation of robotics for the modern battlefield.

    They’re making their own and selling them for about 2% of the cost of the Boston Dynamics version: This LiDAR-equipped 30-pound robot dog can be yours for $1,600 . How much of the technology was actually developed independently, I have no idea.

        Yes, you can have your own robot attack dog for about the same price as a high-end gaming PC. Some assembly possibly required, and you’ll have to write your own attack software based on a manual poorly translated from Chinese (if you’re lucky), but what do you expect at that price point? 🤨
