The U.S. Marine Corps is testing a new breed of robotic canine that can do much more than fetch and could possibly be headed to the battlefield. The Marines hope that these four-legged robotic dogs will enhance the mobility and safety of their soldiers in the future. CLICK TO GET KURT’S FREE CYBERGUY NEWSLETTER WITH
The US Marine Corps are adding to their strategy with the use to AI robot dogs that could possibly be put on the battlefield to enhance mobility and warfare.

Canine units are a staple in police forces, and dogs have proved to be valuable companions for law enforcement teams, but what if U.S. troops could also have four-legged helpers, in the form of robots? Army scientists say this could be the answer for future combat strategies.
US Army Explores Equipping Robots with Living Muscle Tissue
A scientist from the Army Research Lab gave a glimpse into its early work with biohybrid robotics.
Looking to pave the way for the production of nimble robots that can move more like living creatures than bulky androids, Army Research Laboratory scientists are embarking on fresh, high-risk studies in biohybrid robotics that could eventually fuse organic tissue with machines.
“This is wholly new to the lab, and the field itself is still relatively young. The publications associated with the first idea of successfully integrating muscle tissue or cells into some larger architecture to control motion with that same biological device didn t really start until after 2000 and really spooled up in the early 2010s. So it s very young, even as a discipline,” explained Dr. Dean Culver, a research scientist at the laboratory. “And that kind of gave us an opportunity to see how we could help move it forward and what e
