Chinese company releases ‘robot dog army’ video, makes people think about the end of humanity
Chinese company Unitree Robotics tweeted a video showing an ‘army’ of its black robotic dogs moving in unison to the Imperial March from Star Wars.

‘The Force Awakens. Everyone, help count how many?’ it wrote. Its marketing team may have misread the room because, rather than marveling at the engineering, people commented more on the end-of-humanity vibes. Unitree tried to row back on this by releasing a second video in which one of its other robot dogs – a much more colorful one – defeats its black dog in a bout of robot doggy wrestling before doing some cute somersaults.

wtf, China is not a country that abuses science and technology. Americans should worry more about their technology companies.

China's rise into a superpower within 20 years has been something great to behold

That's not the Imperial March from Star Wars..it's some Terminator music I believe.

The article is Russian not American. Apparently the Russians are doing the worrying.

Besides we are the ones who created advanced robot dogs.

Unitree is just a simplistic following dog

I know this, so I said "Americans should worry more about their technology companies."
You know, the Chinese govt can control Chinese technology companies, but American technology companies were able to block the internet account of the president of the USA, even the president in office at that time.
If there is "Umbrella Corporation", it must be an American company.

True they have already mounted guns on them

They’re putting guns on robot dogs now

The future of four-legged warfare.

Chinese technology companies sell the robot dog online for only 8808CNY. The load is 50kg.
If the USA proves the military use of robot dogs, I'm afraid these civil robot dog will also be installed with heavy machine guns by some middle East armed groups.

So less than 10000￥ We can have a tough robot foot soldier. And only God knows how many of them China can churn out with her unrivalled industrial capacity.

I remember that the lightest heavy machine gun in the world is China's QJZ-89, with a body weight of 17kg and a bullet of about 130g. Even civilian robot dogs can carry QJZ-89 and 254 bullets. This cost makes it no problem for each PLA to carry an robot dogs.

Just install Thermal imaging camera, Machine gun, Mortar, and Grenade launcher. They will be ready for war in matter of seconds

lol, "whatever you can do it, we can do it 10 times cheaper in half a year". Guess who would go bankrupt first? Like it or not, this is the Chinese way to give middle finger to those who are whining about them.

Innovation is not everything, not even the most important thing when it comes to national competition, especially when you don't have the ability to hammer your competitor with another "Plaza Accord".

US has a lot of legacy weapons, which will tie them down for future innovation, same thing happened to Japan when the country found themselves having trouble to tranform their legacy industries to IT based new industries in the early 2000's.
