The "terminator" robot dog with a rifle that "targets" artificial intelligence is being tested by the US Marines

The US Marines are testing a robot dog that could be used in "next generation warfare" in the 2030s.

According to foreign media, Telegrafi reports, the four-legged fighting machine was developed by Ghost Robots, with the next-generation weapons system installed by defense firm Onyx Industries, The War Zone first reported.

The Terminator-style quadruped, known as the Q-UGV, has an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered imaging system that can automatically detect and track potential targets.


A human operator must be in control of the robot making fire decisions, as it cannot fire autonomously.

The weapon-equipped robot has been in development since 2021 and comes with a rifle.

It now has new AI capabilities and is reportedly being tested by the US Marine Corps Special Operations Command (MARSOC). /Telegraph/
