The United States Space Force station at Cape Canaveral plans to use robot dogs for patrols and to automate certain security tasks. Gizmodo reports.<\/p>\n

On July 27, 2022, the military demonstrated the devices and later published several photos showing personnel operating two robotic dogs at the station.<\/p>\n

According to the Space Force, the devices are intended for \u201cmanual and repetitive tasks,\u201d as well as for \u201cassessing damage, patrolling and saving a substantial amount of man-hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

The robot dogs are developed by Philadelphia-based Ghost Robotics.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThey are unstoppable, able to quickly rise after any slip, fall or malfunction and continue moving, using our patented blind operations,\u201d the developers said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The robot dogs are equipped with visual and auditory sensors and can be controlled by a person or operate autonomously.<\/p>\n

In November 2020, the U.S. Air Force began using similar devices.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThese robot dogs will be used as force multipliers to increase situational awareness by patrolling territories that are off-limits to people and vehicles,\u201d said Jordan Criss, commander of the 325th Security Squadron.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Cape Canaveral lies on the Atlantic coast of Florida. In addition to the U.S. Air Force Station, the Kennedy Space Center is located here. These sites are used for launching spacecraft.<\/p>\n

In July, a Briton who lost a hard drive containing 7,500 BTC said he intended to enlist two robot dogs<\/a> from Boston Dynamics.<\/p>\n

In October 2021, scientists taught Spot to interact with nuclear waste<\/a> at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.<\/p>\n

In February, the New York Police Department deployed a Boston Dynamics robot dog to the scene of a crime. Later, the police \u201cfired\u201d Spot due to negative reaction from politicians and the public.<\/p>\n
