Is it chilling when a new weapon is introduced to humanity that has the potential to completely change the world of war? Again, absolutely.

Introducing land-based robotics…

That is what we're seeing at the moment as autonomous robot dogs are currently being used to patrol the southern US border. As the number of illegal immigrants who have snuck across the border has absolutely skyrocketed over the course of the past year, it appears as if there are some who believe the solution to the problem is the implementation of autonomous security robots.

Currently being tested along the border is the Ghost Vision 60, a robot "dog" created by Philadelphia-based Ghost Robotics.
