Viral Video Shows China’s Gun-Toting Robot Dog Getting Dropped Off by Drone

China’s robots often go viral on English-language social media, but whereas they were previously wearing silly little hats and dancing around in unison, they’ve taken a somewhat darker path these days. And given the increased tensions of the New Cold War—with the U.S. and its allies on one side, and Russia, China, and Iran on the other—it’s easy to see why videos of deadly robots capture the internet’s attention.

Boston Dynamics, of course, is the name most closely associated with America’s potential robot uprising, given that Atlas can do backflips and is really quite agile these days. But Boston Dynamics isn’t the one making tomorrow’s robo-killers for American soldiers. In fact, Boston Dynamics pledged not to make any lethal machines just last week.

But the U.S. military is doing their own development, including much less agile robot-controlled death devices like the Multi Utility Tactical Transport (MUTT) seen below in 2016.

And while MUTT might be less agile, Ghost Robotics also makes a version of what looks like Spot for the U.S. military. Granted, its Quadruped Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) aren’t being displayed with powerful guns just yet.

We’re sure the U.S. military will get around to it sooner or later. It’s only a matter of time.
