Military Robot Dogs

US Marine Forces Test AI Robotic Dogs:

• The US Marine Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) is currently examining the use of robotic dogs developed by Ghost Robotics. These quadrupeds, equipped with automatic targeting systems, may potentially be armed with weapons for remote engagement.

• The robotic dogs carry Onyx Industries' SENTRY remote weapon system, a feature that requires human supervision for making firing decisions.

• The affordability of robotic quadrupeds has opened doors to weapon experimentation. A video showing a rifle on a Unitree robodog sparked a reaction from robotics companies, including Boston Robotics, pledging not to use robots as weapons except for military purposes.

The idea of deploying armed robotic dogs has raised questions about the future of warfare and potential domestic use by police forces. As these systems gain more autonomy over time, addressing ethical dilemmas and ensuring alignment with international law becomes crucial.
