They're here.

Tyndall Air Force Base's 325th Security Forces Squadron has received its first set of semi-autonomous "robot dogs," which it wants to use as extra security around the Florida Panhandle installation, according to a news release.

Dubbed "Quad-legged Unmanned Ground Vehicles," or Q-UGVs, the new robots, which have the ability to crouch low and creep into shallow spaces, were delivered last week, the service said. The droids were created by Ghost Robotics and Immersive Wisdom.

"As a mobile sensor platform, the Q-UGVs will significantly increase situational awareness for defenders," said Mark Shackley, Tyndall Program Management Office security forces program manager, in the release. "They can patrol the remote areas of a base while defenders can continue to patrol and monitor other critical areas of an installation."

Are the bite strength settings clueless idiot, homeless idiot, anti-war idiot, and terrorist idiot?

All areas are critical for defense.  A worthy opponent will be able to use the "remote areas" to its advantage.  In Singapore, the British guns only faced the sea.  They didn't think anyone could attack Singapore land because of the thick jungle.  Needless to say, the Japanese traversed the jungle to attack Singapore from the rear.

How long will their batteries keep their charge in Florida's heat and humidity?

The robot dogs might even have "a bark" (a speaker?), but do they have "a bite" as well?
A taser, at least...?
