A movie of a robot dog shooting a machine gun appears on the net, and it is pointed out that it is a fake

In 2021, an American manufacturer announced a dog-shaped robot with a gun on its back, and the media said, 'It

's time to come. ' In addition, the IT news site Motherboard analyzed a video of attaching a gun to a robot similar to the Boston Dynamics dog-shaped robot ' Spot ' that is spreading on SNS.

A video of the robot dog in question shooting with a gun can be seen below.

All the people who laughed off the “ worrywarts ” years ago for freaking out about the Funny Dancing Robot Dogs (tm) should be forced to watch this video once a day for the remainder of the year.

The robot doesn't seem to be in the Spot series on the market by Boston Dynamics, but it looks and walks a lot like Spot.

When the robot stopped, it fired at the target. Motherboard points out that the question is, 'the recoil is out of control' because the barrel jumps up when the robot shoots. Also, I don't know if the robot fired autonomously or was remotely controlled.

According to Motherboard, Boston Dynamics does not sell Spot to users who use robots for military purposes, but there are many imitations and similar Spots on the market. Motherboard speculates that the robot in this video is a '

technology dog ' sold by a manufacturer called Unitree Yusu, based on the shape of the undercarriage, the shape of the head, and the cover of the joints.

Motherboard says 'Russian flag is affixed to the side of the robot' 'The gun seems to be a Russian submachine gun

PP-19 Vityaz ' 'The armored car in the back is also witnessed in Ukraine Russian BDRM- 2 ”and other points are also pointed out.

In fact, this movie was posted on YouTube on March 22, 2022, before it was spread on SNS.

The video contributor, Alexander Atamanov, claims to be the founder of hoverbike maker HOVERSURF on his LinkedIn page, and posted on Facebook on March 21 that he described a robot dog with a gun. ' Skynet ' is introduced.


A Twitter user who replied to the opening tweet said in a post, 'When you look at the tip of the barrel at the time of launch, there are parts that are cut out in a straight line and parts where the outline of the gun is strangely blurred. I don't deny that it's possible to make a robot like this, and perhaps it does exist, but this video is clearly fake. '

This is pretty clearly fake. Look at the end of the barrel as it fires, it on occassion is clipped with a perfectly straight line, you can also constantly see odd blurring around the gun outline. I don't deny this is possible, and probably real somewhere, but this is not real. Pic.twitter.com/0p2eSyTH60
