Meet the bomb disposal robot dog who will save British soldiers' lives

Robot dogs that can defuse explosives are set to revolutionise bomb disposal operations and significantly reduce the risk to military personnel, whether operating in the UK or overseas.A new live trial led by Ministry of Defence scientists has seen advanced robotic systems, including robot dogs, successfully detecting, and defusing bomb threats. The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) trials took place over four days and included: Remote classification and identification of threats using sensors on robots; Defusing of bombs from a robot dog; Drones with AI autonomous threat and people detection; And robots conducting tasks such as opening doors and climbing stairs.
