US Army Tests Armed Robot Dogs in the Middle East
The US Army is testing four-legged robot dogs armed with AI-enabled guns at a military facility in Saudi Arabia. These robots are part of exercises intended to explore new unmanned capabilities in combat. Other countries, like China, are also developing similar robotic systems for military use.

These four-legged unmanned ground vehicles feature AR-15/M16 pattern rifles on rotating turrets and were part of counter-unmanned aerial system exercises conducted in September.
The tests included various autonomous systems, with the robots engaging static ground targets.
These developments are part of the broader use of robotic systems by the US military, with both the Marine Corps and the Army exploring different weapon configurations on these platforms.
Similar advancements are also taking place internationally, such as the Chinese military's demonstration of armed robot dogs during a recent exercise in Cambodia.
