However, the robotic dogs were first tested in Lorton, Va., before moving on to the practical application phase, writes DHS.

They were tested for their ability to withstand “payloads”: packages of video and other sensors, once installed on a robot dog, will be able to transmit video and other data in real time.

Now robot dogs, presented in three colors – brown, black and silver went to Texas.

Engineers must ensure that robot dogs are ready for a variety of tasks, including maneuvering in harsh conditions and work in confined spaces.

You also need to check how they tolerate high temperature and low oxygen – situations that are especially dangerous for people.

Robots will help identify smugglers, illegal immigrants, criminals and drug couriers. They are equipped with a 360-degree camera, thermal imagers and night vision devices.
