Last Wednesday (5), Twitter profile @LiaWongOISNTposted a 1 minute video showing drone releases an armed robot dog. The description of the video also mentions the name “Blood-Wing”, which is not clear what it is. Besides being shocking because we may be witnessing violation of the laws of roboticswhat is most impressive is that the robot can be left by the drone in anywhere. There is speculation that the video was filmed as part of a Chinese military exercise.

This is not the first time we have seen a robot dog used in military exercises, as we have discussed here at Connected World, the French army has also already conducted exercises, but unlike the French exercises, the Chinese robot is armed.

This is not the first video of China showing off its technological prowess, a video was released on August 23 of a robot dog doing some of the exercises, from climbing stairs to cleaning the perimeter. Boston Dynamics, the benchmark company in the robot market, announced a few days ago that it will not turn its robots into combat vehicles.

Are we heading for a technological war?

With the development of technology, we are increasingly seeing the testing of armed robots. Whether it’s a “dog” or even drones, technology is rapidly advancing in the military field. There are more and more videos, articles, reviews showing the danger this could cause in the future. We have major companies producing robotic dogs for everyday use, such as Xiaomi, which is working on Cyberdog. We also have Cyber ​​Dynamics, one of which is for cave exploration and possibly used in Mars exploration. Several questions arise: with the development of technology, will we have even more military power of robots?
