    Robot dog with machine gun hints of a dystopian future

    While Boston Dynamics show off their robot’s dance moves, others turn similar-looking devices into dystopian killing machines.


    Much like their flesh-made cousins, robot dogs do not lack attention on the internet. Many have seen the footage of Spot, a high-tech quadruped developed by the US-based company Boston Dynamics, flaunting its dance moves.

    However, the latest addition to the robot dog content stream looks like something out of a science fiction movie. Twitter user Sean Chiplock shared a video of someone in Russia firing a gun from a quadruped robot.

    Even though the post’s author discusses robots Boston Dynamics make, the one seen in the video is not made by the American company. As Sean Gallagher, a Senior Threat Researcher at Sophos points out, the robot dog is of Chinese origin.

    I think that's the future of school shootings. Nerdy loner sends in his only friend, the robotic dog, to kill his classmates.

    Can I just get a mosquito killing drone through? I mean, it's obvious we have the technology.

    If we have to worry about dogs shooting us dead, shouldn't we at least get tiny little mosquito killing drones out of the deal?

    We can definitely design a mosquito drone that will kill you, if that's what you really want.
