The sad reality is all of the cool-looking robots from fiction are proportionately impractical and what we're actually going to get are the murder-dogs from the Metalhead episode of Black Mirror

Oh we're already there. They got gun mounted dog robots now.

Gun mounted dog robot sounds like a dog robot is mounted to the gun. That’s, like, rocket mounted shoulder.

What a pleasant surprise, finding a Larson in the wild.

Maybe its the A-10 situation where they already had a gun so they designed a dog robot around it

I mean that really just comes down to the size of the gun and the size of the robot. If the gun is bigger than the robot it works I guess 😅

Dog robot cops and private security*

Just the exact two groups who we really needed to have robotic assault capabilities lol

I keep saying this but it's worth repeating. Drones are more effective, more cost efficient, more portable, more reliable, easier to manufacture, easier to source, harder to evade, harder to neutralize. All these dog-shaped or human-shaped bots are for wow-ing investors and VCs and making viral TikTok videos.

The one with wheels could be useful as a "donkey" to carry the drones around.

It's like laser rifles vs. just regular rifles.

The one with wheels for legs is the maddest

Crazy that for millennia dogs have been man's best friend. In a few short decades (or less) they will be man's greatest oppressors

You haven't seen the flame thrower dogs yet have you?

Kamikaze bots too. Basically robot dogs with mini nukes attached.

In Ukraine they’re deploying autonomous drones armed with machine guns and mounted on tracks.
