The U.S. Air Force, in collaboration with representatives from Asylon, showcased the capabilities of robotic dogs during the first-ever Synchronized Nuclear Readiness Operations Training (SNORT) at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida.
The demonstration, held on March 6, 2024, highlighted the potential of remotely operated security systems in enhancing emergency response protocols without jeopardizing the safety of human defenders. The robotic dog, developed by Boston Dynamics with additional hardware and software capabilities provided by Asylon, exemplifies the latest advancements in unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs).
Equipped with a suite of sensors, the robotic dog operates in a semi-autonomous mode, enabling it to conduct patrols independently while navigating its surroundings and avoiding obstacles. This autonomous functionality empowers the robot to swiftly respond to emergent situations, providing real-time surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities crucial for nuclear readiness operations.

I'd feel better if they were using their time and energy to get all their combat gear up and running.

I wonder how they'd do patrolling the border?
