ROK Army Tests Anti-Terrorism Robot
I guess we will see if robotics becomes another defense industry product that the ROK can reliably produce:
The state arms procurement agency said Monday it has test-deployed a multi-legged robot designed for counter-terrorism operations as part of a push to introduce advanced technologies to the military.
The Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) launched the project in August 2022 to develop a robot that can check for threats inside buildings in a terror situation before troops are deployed.
The Army received the robot last Wednesday to conduct the six-month trial run to determine whether it is suitable for operations. The Army Special Warfare Command and a front-line Army division will assess its performance and capabilities.

These are robots made by the US company, the Boston Dynamic that Hyundai bought out a couple of years ago.
I’m going to get one of those.
