At the Army-2022 forum on Monday, the Russian company Machine Intellect showed off a model of its four-legged M-81 robot. According to the state news agency RIA Novosti, the robot is capable of targeted fire, transporting weapons, and patrolling battlefields, as well as conducting reconnaissance missions in hazardous areas and maneuvering through debris. At the display, the M-81 wore a black suit that hid everything but its eyes and had a RPG-26 rocket launcher strapped to its back. According to iXBT.com, the pup costs one million rubles (about $16,000) and was built using "Chinese technology." After Internet users began to suspect that the robot might be a copy of the Go1, a robot dog made by the Chinese company Unitree Robotics that has a starting price of $2,700, journalists noticed that the M-81 has the same shape and same eyes as the Chinese model. In August, the Go1 was found to have a security flaw that allows it to be immobilized remotely.
