A soldier's best friend? China unveils robotic dog designed for multi-terrain use

Watch: Chinese robotic 'four-wheeled friend' system unveiled

A Chinese company has unveiled the Unitree B2-W quadruped robot – but could it turn out to be a soldier's best friend?

The flagship design is being compared to US robotic systems already being tested, but the Chinese model appears to be nimbler, sleeker and more agile.

The robotic four-wheeled friend can reportedly carry up to 40kg, move at a top speed of 30mph and operate over mixed terrain.
