It's not mentioned in the article, but those are Spots by Boston Dynamics right?

The robot dog in the main picture looks like go2 by unitree to me. Boston dynamics has said that they won't "weaponize" their robots, whatever that means. https://www.axios.com/2022/10/06/boston-dynamics-pledges-wea...

They said they wouldn't weaponize their "commercially available robots" they didn't exclude creating wholly military lines.

They won't have much option if state gets in the mix and pressure them in future to compete Chinese robots.

No, they are remote-controlled Chinese unitree go2.

The Unitree GO2 Pros are manufactured in China, but supplied by Brit Alliance, a UK company.

The DJI drones used by Ukraine en masse are developed and made in China too.

On searching for the mentioned model “bad one” it sounds like it’s provided by a British company “Brit alliance”, although these may be modified robots from another company.
