I believe so.
Just took a closer look this thing has wheels on its paws and 'elbows'.Armed robotic dog.
I wonder if they are like luggage wheels or powered, most likely former as they are small and don't look steerable.
I wonder how well these small footprint ugvs fare in soft terrains like snow, sand and muddy fields. But if they are for urban roles then guess it's fine.
I'm still uncertain how the gun is meant to work on the robodog, the gun doesn't look like it can elevate or depress, that part would be handled by the legs which limits fire rate due to recoil. If the turret rotates and fires then the whole platform would likely tip over.
That gun feels too large for the platform, a robo dog with a shotgun would make much more sense for urban environment.

That’s generally the problem with Robot dog’s. It’s not really a practical system. They look cool but that’s about it.
It looks like a grenade launcher so maybe accuracy more important than firerate. The aiming is probably done with the help of computers. The elevation can be set by lowering/raising the hind and forelegs I guess.
For building clearing just get close enough to a door or window and lob one in
