Robot dogs could soon help agents patrol the U.S.-Mexico border. But the technology is controversial.
The dogs can transmit real-time video and other data back to human operators while climbing over sand, rocks and hills.
The project has been under development for two and a half years. It's unclear how many robot dogs will be deployed, when and where to.Ghost Robotics CEO Jiren Parikh told Axios he couldn't share more information about the robot dogs the Border Patrol will use, but some in development have special sensors and can carry equipment to identify drugs, nuclear materials and chemical weapons.The robots can explore confined spaces and have long-range and night vision cameras, Parikh said.
