Seems like you could hokey pokey right around it. If it has to be stationary to fire. The advanced tracking equipment to make it really dangerous would make it much larger and way too expensive for how easy it would be to defeat.
Snipers and ordinary soldiers who actually want to hit their targets (unless the target is a near point-blank range) also get stationary; you can't expect accuracy at 100 yards or more if you're moving while firing.
This thing is version 1.0 and it would still be a horrifying and effective weapon in actual use. Wait until they've perfected version 2.7 or whatnot.
Just throw a blanket on it
What if a pack of them were deployed?
They still need to shuffle and stop before they shoot. Just run in zigzags.
Imagine hundreds of them networked and working together.
Could take it out with a pick axe/hoe/sledge hammer “if” you aren’t it’s target - in that case a real dog might take it out first
Agreed
Huh, see everyone, nightmares do come true. Also you guys should watch the movie 'monsters of men'
If they mount the bang stick a bit lower to the centre of gravity of robopooch it might help.
What makes you think you saw “state of the art” and not a decade old prototype? That is pretty much a hatchet job proof of concept using what was available
Wouldn’t you make something much easier to target?
I don't care if it was 300 years old, mounting the shooty bit lower would help a lot.
This is 2 years ago. Full sized robot.

People: "Can we please have a robot that can help around the house maybe do some dishes, or take the dog for a walk?
Boston Dynamics: "Best we can do is a dog like killing machine"

Some jackasses always got money to burn
Butlerian Jihad, machines that could think.
I think it's explained more in one of the later books, Chapter House of Dune
That's about right. Although now I'm passed 50 I gave the later ones a go and they weren't as bad as I recall from my youth ;)
Again, that's about right.
All those focusing on the clear weaknesses of what is being presented aren't acknowledging the dangers this represents. They can now murder you and your family, in your sleep, with a heat signature of you in your bed, through your walls (which won't stop rifle bullets) with a goofy ass robot dog with a gun literally strapped on it.
And like another commenter said, they could quell a protest by deploying a bunch of these, and assume "accuracy through volume of fire"
Exactly. With no worries of coming home or their families being targeted.
Omg I’m so rattled.
Poor collateral birds
Think this is deadly? You are looking at a Dinosaur
This was at a TED Talk demo in 2017. If you think the robot dog is deadly, I have a bridge to sell you.

Lol you realize this isn’t real right? Read the description, it’s a dramatization
That was 2017. You imagine that there has been no development on this? We just turned a bunch of Switchblades over to China when Biden made the withdrawal
Those were developed prior to 2017. Look what your DKI drones do now - these are on the market today. Face recognition, obstacle avoidance, tracking, range and flight time. When you code one; you have coded them all.
Re-watch Black mirror.
Not a very realistic looking dog.
