AustriaThe U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has announced plans to deploy robot dogs from Boston Dynamics, potentially spending up to two million dollars on the technology. The robots are intended for situational awareness and risk assessment in dangerous, unstable, or hard-to-reach environments. While there is no mention of offensive capabilities, the move comes amid ongoing criticism of ICE, particularly following incidents involving lethal force against U.S. citizens and controversial policies like the planned acquisition of electric shock gloves. Robot dogs from Boston Dynamics have already been used at the Hamburg port for bridge safety checks, highlighting their potential applications in security scenarios such as bomb threats.
