Meanwhile, the Indian Army’s robotic dogs ‘MULE’ (Multi Utility Legged Equipment) turned heads at the Republic Day parade in Kolkata. Named ‘Sanjay’, the ‘MULE’ is designed for several operations like chemical-biological-nuclear warfare scenarios, asset protection, perimeter security, and others. These robots can function on challenging terrains, such as steep hills. In a video shared by ANI, several robotic dogs were seen synchronising with their respective officers.
