A robot ‘dog’ developed in the US could be used by the British Army to support troops on the front line, the Ministry of Defence has revealed.
Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) - the procurement arm of the MoD based in Bristol - agreed a major deal to buy the state-of-the-art tech from US robotics manufacturer Boston Dynamics.
The British Army’s Future Capability Group (FCG) at Abbey Wood is now experimenting with the novel tech, which is already being used by organisations such as the National Grid and oil giant BP.
