Israel company General Robotics today unveiled its newest robot, the Dogo, which is aimed at the defense and homeland security markets. 



The lightweight, tactical combat robot can carry light weapons, which are point-and-shoot controlled by a human operator. Dogo weighs 12 kilograms and uses eight cameras to provide 360-degree views. The tracked robot was designed for special forces, SWAT teams and infantry missions. It is outfitted with a communications system, so teams can use it in hostage situations as a relay. 



The company also released a new lightweight weapon station today, called Pitbull, which can detect hostile fire and respond.



“Our solutions were developed to enhance force protection and enable real-time situational awareness and response. Being lightweight, both the Dogo and the Pitbull are easy and fast to deploy and are suitable for every type of mission in the field,” says Ehud Gal, president and CEO. “Interest in these solutions has already been expressed by various agencies around the world.”
