A Boston Dynamics robotic dog is being lauded for saving lives after taking gunfire from a suspect holed up in a Barnstable, Massachusetts, home.that the Massachusetts State Police deployed and controlled the robotic dog, named Roscoe, on March 6 after the suspect had opened fire on the officers. Roscoe cleared two levels of the Barnstable home before locating the suspect, who was hiding after a 911 call about a person holding someone at knifepoint, in the basement.
The suspect allegedly “twice knocked over the robotic dog before shooting it three times and disabling its communication.”The incident provided a stark example of the benefits of mobile platforms capable of opening doors and ascending stairs in tactical missions involving armed suspects.
Roscoe was returned to Boston Dynamics to have the bullets removed. Boston Dynamics plans to keep Roscoe for research purposes and give the Massachusetts State Police a new robotic dog. “We are relieved that the only casualty that day was our robot,” Boston Dynamics commented. “It’s a great example of how mobile robots like Spot can be used to save lives.”, a weekly newsletter focused on all things Second Amendment, also for Breitbart News.
