If you are active on social media, then you must have seen the video of the dance of a four-legged robot dog named Spot. As much as this robot dog is known for its dance, it is equally famous for saving criminals. This robot dog of Boston Dynamics has joined the team of 60 police departments of America and Canada, which also includes the bomb squad. This is being included in everything from hostage rescue to fighting with weapons.

This robot dog can climb stairs and open doors. After the recent software upgrade, it can run smoothly even on slippery surfaces. Its operator controls it from a tablet-like console. There are many cameras installed on it, which stream live video. It has been equipped with many sensors, so that it can move forward while crossing obstacles. This robot dog is being used in everything from chemical leaks to crash sites, where sending humans can prove fatal.
How much does it cost?
According to reports, the cost of this one robot dog is around Rs 90 lakh and it almost doubles with accessories etc. The company that makes it says that about 2,000 Spot robots are in use around the world. Now police and emergency agencies have also started demanding this. However, questions are also being raised regarding the use of robots. Critics say that after the use of robots, the police will become distant from the people. The New York Police was using it, but after the controversy in 2021, its use was stopped. However, now once again the police has purchased two of its units.
