Dogo- A Combat Military Robot

Military weapons are advancing at an incredible rate. If you compare old world war weapons to what we have now, technology involving is mind-blowing. But there is a new trend when it comes to military hardware and that’s where robots involve in fighting for humans. Imagine a battlefield of fully autonomous robots fighting a massive battle of taking the orders without human causalities.

Let’s check out this innovative “tactical combat robot” that will change the cause of warfare. So today we are going to talk about a military robot known as “Dogo”, which is named after the Argentinian Mastiff, a fearless breed of a dog trained to protect human companions. The Dogo is a compact powerhouse of muscle and force created to serve as a “watchdog” for soldiers in the field. It can be easily carried by one hand since it is weightless and this battery-powered Dogo is also used for anti-terror, hostage rescue, target detection, clear obstacles, and traverse over any obstacle including climbing stairs and staying for long hours in undergrounds.

It is equipped with 6 wide angle micro-video, day/night cameras allowing the operator to see in a 360⁰ view. Not only it can spot targets remotely but it is also armed with a Glock pistol with another 2 cameras in addition along the barrow. The gun itself is integrally built to house 9mm Glock 26 pistols in its belly. A baby Glock that is slotted into the robot and has a magazine of 14 rounds. The operator uses a point and shoot interface using their fingers to land the laser resulting in a pinpoint accuracy with each shot. The Dogo can fire 5 rounds in 2 seconds and because of its size, it is not affected by the recoil.

The robot also has some additional feature that has been added for police use such as microphones and speakers for remote negotiations. It is outfitted with non-lethal weapons such as pepper sprays for an effective range of 18 feet that sprays at a continuous stream.
