A Chinese robot dog with six legs, designed to transport loads of up to 100 kg in extremely cold conditions, has been successfully tested in Antarctica.
The robot dog was specially created to perform tasks in harsh climates. During tests in Antarctica, the vehicle demonstrated the ability to carry loads of up to 100 kg, which makes it indispensable for scientific research and logistics in hard-to-reach regions.
To work in extreme temperatures down to -40 degrees Celsius, unique shoes were developed for the robot. These shoes not only protect you from the cold, but also prevent slipping on ice, which is critical for walking on the ice-covered surface of Antarctica.
The robot dog is equipped with a battery that provides autonomous operation for two hours even at the lowest temperatures. For longer missions, such as polar ice exploration, it is possible to connect additional batteries.
These tests open new horizons for the use of robotics in extreme environments, providing researchers with a tool that could make work in Antarctica and other harsh climates much easier.
