Italian gendarmes introduced Saetta, a remote-controlled robot dog that will start working in Rome’s explosives unit.

This was reported by Wanted in Rome, as reported by Ukrinform.

It was stated that the four-legged robot can be controlled from a maximum distance of 150 meters and will be used in high-risk reconnaissance and other dangerous operational situations.

The Saetta can traverse rough terrain inaccessible to wheeled or tracked vehicles and can climb and descend stairs, open doors and move obstacles in its path, including unexploded ordnance.

The robot can also map locations, detect the presence of threats, and identify traces of explosives and chemicals using advanced laser and thermal imaging sensors.

Saetta will provide additional security to the Carabinieri during the 2025 Jubilee Year, when millions of pilgrims and visitors are expected to come to Rome.

The Jubilee year is a special year in the Catholic Church in which the Pope grants full pardon (indulgence) to believers in the church if certain conditions are met. At the beginning of its history in the Catholic Church, the Holy Year was declared every 50 years, during which time special remission of sins was allowed. Later, this period decreased and Pope II. It reached 25 years during the reign of Paul.

As reported by Ukrinform, the Tesla company has introduced its second-generation humanoid Optimus robot, which is expected to perform some tasks usually performed by humans.
