A Boston Dynamic's SPOT robotic dog unit called 'Roscoe' has become the first 'K9 Hero' in history after being shot in the line of duty.
A Boston Dynamic’s SPOT robotic dog has officially become the first of its kind to become a police dog hero. The robodog in question, a Massachusetts State Police SPOT unit, was shot in the line of duty.
During the incident, he knocked over the robotic dog twice before shooting it three times and disabling its communication. “In addition to providing critically important room clearance and situational awareness capabilities, the insertion of Roscoe into the suspect residence prevented the need, at that stage of response, from inserting human operators, and may have prevented a police officer from being involved in an exchange of gunfire,” they added.
