Mechanical K-9s may now be a part of the arsenal of weaponry available to China’s military. News of one of the latest additions to the equipment provided to the country’s armed forces reports on the development of robotic dogs equipped with machine guns. The robots can be programmed to identify, track and fire the guns at various designated targets. Fulton Schools Professor Brad Allenby, whose expertise includes the geopolitical, military and security implications of emerging technologies, says the militaries of the U.S. and most other countries are aware of these new weapons and have the capability to deal with them.
