U.S. Marines recently conducted novel tests using an off-the-shelf quadrupedal "robotic goat" to carry and fire an M72 RPG.
As part of a tactical training exercise in September, U.S. Marines successfully jerry-rigged a rocket launcher to a "robotic goat" to test the viability of such a setup. Conducted on September 9 , the"robotic goat" test was part of a larger suit of autonomous system tests, but this one stood out for its novelty.The rocket launcher encumbered quadrupedal robot was a Chinese-made "Unitree Go1," which is widely commercially available online and relatively cheap.
“Instead of having a Marine handle the weapon system, manipulate the safeties, we could put a remote trigger mechanism on it that allowed it to all be done remotely,” said Aaron Safadi, an officer of the Tactical Training and Exercise Control group. “The Marine could be behind cover and concealment, the weapon system could go forward, and the Marine could manipulate the safeties from a safe place while allowing that weapon system to get closer to its target," he added.
