The French army tests the Boston Dynamics robot dog on the battlefield

The four-legged robot Spot from Boston Dynamics is actively participating in French army exercises. Command

is trying to figure out how unarmed robots can interact shoulder-to-shoulder with people.

And what have the robots forgotten there?

According to French media, Spot and several other robots are capable of providing ground forces with information about the battlefield that is otherwise difficult or too dangerous to obtain.

In addition to Spot, the ULTRO robot and Barakuda participated in the exercises, whose tasks included covering fighters from fire and other targets associated with immediate danger.

There were some incidents:During one of the exercises, Spot's battery ran out and he had to be returned to base. There is not much news about the military use of robots in the world, but it is known that Boston Dynamics receives funding from the military. Most likely, this state of affairs is caused by secrecy.
