On August 10, Xiaomi unexpectedly introduced the CyberDog robotic dog, which closely resembles the Spot robot from Boston Dynamics. Xiaomi will release only 1000 pieces of CyberDog, the device is addressed to fans as well as robotics enthusiasts exclusively for home use. However, China has already come up with another role for CyberDog - it was turned into a fighting robot. However, so far only stylistically.
The process of turning an ordinary CyberDog into a conditional combat one is shown in the video. In fact, external elements were made for the robot, changing the appearance to a more aggressive one, and a couple of plastic guns were fitted on top. It turned out formidable and even more futuristic, but such a modified CyberDog poses no threat.
What is shown in the pictures and in the video is nothing more than a stylistic experiment, a kind of modding. However, it is generally known that the development of combat robots is carried out in parallel with civilian models, and the emergence of combat robots like the modified CyberDog is just a matter of time.
