The rifle-equipped robot dog, weighing over 50 kilograms, spearheaded an attack on a building housing mock terrorists.

Another 15-kilogram robot dog, equipped with a four-dimensional super-wide-angle sensing system, provided real-time reconnaissance data.

The smaller robot dog, capable of maneuvers like jumping and crouching, can operate for up to four hours and independently navigate to avoid obstacles and quickly close in on targets.

Chen Wei, a Chinese participant in the exercise, noted that the rifle-equipped robot dog can replace human teammates in urban operations.
