It is no secret that China advances to the whole machine towards the future, developing new technologies As levitanizing bullet trains, boxing fighting between robots or a network of supercomputers in space. And it also focuses on arms advances.
Precisely, on the latter, he has now presented a new robot model, similar to those presented at the time Boston Dynamics, only In this case it is more wolves than dogs. The CCTV state chain recently published a Brief series of videos which shows its new “robot wolves”, equipped with weapons, in combat drills.
Working alongside soldiers of the popular liberation army (EPL), robots are seen sailing on a hillside on a coordinated group while Soldiers exchange non -lethal shots. While EPL troops croup to avoid shots, robot wolves advance.
Developed by China North Industries Group Corporation, it is said that the wolves are different from the combat robot dogs, according to a statement. While the agile robot dogs specialize in recognition, These robot wolves are specifically designed for combat.
Both robot dogs and their predatory counterparts They are remotely controlled by an operator; The lighter version apparently incorporates a Lidar system to map its environment.
“They can move along various land and execute precision attacks from up to 100 meters away”, Says the video.
The first news of these new robots was in 2024 during the International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition of China in November 2024. Subsequently, the media showed a herd of these quadrupeds moving through a desert environment carrying assault rifleswhich they used to shoot a mannequin. Now, it seems that development has ended, since EPL troops train to use these metal creatures in combat.
All this highlights the speed at which Chinese robotics progresses: in recent years the country has deployed hundreds of thousands of industrial robots in recent years, establishing the global manufacturing robotics deployment record in 2021-2022 and surpassing it in 2022-2023.
