Are there line charge carrying ugvs? You can hold a few in reserve for a quick breach attempt compared to mine rollers. You can also clear a whole treeline/trench line at a time if the UGV moves fast enough.
Abstract: Running speed degradation of insect-scale (less than 5 cm) legged micro- robots after carrying payloads has become a bottleneck for microrobots to achieve high untethered locomotion performance. In this work, we present a 2-cm legged microrobot (BHMbot, BeiHang Microrobot) with ultrafast untethered running speeds, which is facilitated by the complementary com- bination of bouncing length and bouncing frequency in the microrobot’s running gait. The untethered BHMbot (2-cm-long, 1760 mg) can achieve a running speed of 17.5 BL s−1 and a turning centripetal acceleration of 65.4 BL s−2 at a Cost of Transport of 303.7 and a power consumption of 1.77 W. By con- trolling its two front legs independently, the BHMbot demonstrates various locomotion trajectories including circles, rectangles, letters and irregular paths across obstacles through a wireless control module. Such advancements enable the BHMbot to carry out application attempts including sound signal detection, locomotion inside a turbofan engine and transportation via a quadrotor.
It would be a scary thought. Or hundreds of these suicide robodogs doing a high speed swarm attack on a firebase.How much weight can the unifree dogbots haul? Imagine dozens of these suicide bombers galloping at your lines. At night.
Why don't just use drone? There is a decent chance to take out a unitree dog even with an assault rifle.How much weight can the unifree dogbots haul? Imagine dozens of these suicide bombers galloping at your lines. At night.
You're gonna need a very big drone to carry the guns and it's going to push the drone around when shooting. The dogbot is better for handling recoil and is low observable on the ground. It's also disposable so it's fine.Why don't just use drone? There is a decent chance to take out a unitree dog even with an assault rifle.
