Chinese scientists created an enormous robot yak capable of carrying up to 352 pounds. It can also sprint up to six miles per hour.
According to People’s Daily of China, the robot is capable of handling all kinds of roads and weather conditions.
The unit will deploy with the soldiers of China’s army for logistics and reconnaissance missions. It can be found in environments such as deserts or snowfields.
According to Chinese state media reports, the missions may include work in remote areas bordering countries as well as high-risk combat zones.
Multiple sensors are built into the robot, which gives it high levels of situational awareness. Analysts believe this can feed commanders in combat environments.

According to People’s Daily of China, the robot is capable of handling all kinds of roads and weather conditions.
You will find a variety of sensors on the device that allow you to be aware of your surroundings.
It is a Chinese robot that walks on four legs. According to China Central Television it has the most powerful, largest and most capable off-road vehicle of its type in the world.
Reports indicate that it measures about half the height as the average adult male. It also has twice as much length.
The device is equipped with sensors to monitor its surroundings and provide high levels of adaptability.
You will be able to climb up stairs, walk through trenches, and walk across deserts, snow fields, cliffs, or muddy roads.
You will find 12 different sets of joints on this robot. They allow you to turn the robot to sprint or walk diagonally, and it can move forward and backwards.
Its joints allow it to jump, turn and run despite being small. Advanced sensors enable it to monitor its environment and detect any threats.
This awareness goes beyond detecting obstacles on the ground. It also captures tactical information and relays that to the commanders of mission.
According to reports, it could be used for delivering supplies such as food and munitions across dangerous environments.
The robot has 12 joint modules that allow it to move forward or backward, turn to sprint, walk diagonally, and can also be used to do other tasks, while still remaining stable.
Its joints allow it to jump, turn and run despite being small. Advanced sensors enable it to detect its environment and potential threats.
It is not just aware of terrain obstacles, but also gathers tactical information about a battlefield to feed back to the mission commanders
CCTV reports that these could include plateaus, mountains, forests and deserts.
Sources close to the project say that it may also come with weapons for use in armed reconnaissance missions.
Global Times was told by an expert that it is a good choice to send regular surveillance to far-flung border regions, but not permanent humans, according to the anonymous source.
China’s Geda is a robot dog that weighs in at 88 lb.
It will accompany soldiers from China’s army in logistics and reconnaissance missions to complex areas that are too difficult for human beings.
This will involve working in areas with high risks and combat zones as well as remote borders. According to Chinese media,
It is a Chinese robot that walks on four legs.
CCTV reports that Geda was programmed to recognize simple voice commands and use facial recognition to determine requirements.
It is all part of the Chinese government’s five-year push to be a leading robotics country with 20% annual growth rate and high quality innovation.
This Chinese robot yak looks similar to DARPA’s Legged Squad Support System robot, which was developed in partnership with Boston Dynamics. It is used by the US Army.
This packhorse can be used to carry 400lb equipment, and it is highly adaptable for use in hot, dry, or dirty areas.
The ‘Special Purpose Unmanned Rifle’ (SPUR, pictured) is the brainchild of Philadelphia-based Ghost Robotics and arms manufacturer SWORD International of Sparks, Nevada
The device was placed in storage by the manufacturer due to noise issues, difficulties with repairing it, and difficulty integrating the device into patrols.
Robotics are still being used in war, and the most recent example is a robot dog equipped with a 6.5mm rifle sniper.
The ‘Special Purpose Unmanned Rifle’ (SPUR) was unvieled at a US Army trade show by Ghost Robotics and arms manufacturer SWORD International.
SPUR is placed on top of Ghost Robotics existing “quadrupedal unmanned vehicle” designs. SPUR can remotely be instructed to load, unload, and fire its rifle.

Reports indicate that the US Air Force is interested in remotely operating robotic dogs via central command centers.
Officers are looking to use the machines for perimeter security, scouting and urban warfare operations — as well as opening up access to spaces that might be too small, tight or dangerous for a human soldier to safely navigate into.
After a testing with the robots, Air Force Major Jordan Criss stated that “these dogs will be an additional set of eyes and ears while computing large quantities of data at strategically located locations throughout Tyndall Air Force Base.”
