In the Glacial cap region, near the Chinese Station in Antarctica Zhongshan, a six -legged robot dog developed in China has recently completed a series of scientific research tests, marking an innovative step in the polar research equipment of China. A video shows the robot dog sailing in snow and ice, carrying a box on its back, without sliding or falling, reported CCTV.
The developers have designed a special type of shoe for the robot dog to maintain its stability to adapt to the difficult environment of Antarctica.

“The material of the shoe itself can withstand temperatures as low as -40 ° C. In addition, when it comes into contact with ice, the pressure it exerts becomes very low, which gives it non -slip capabilities while causing a minimum of damage to the surface of the ice. This guarantees that the robot dog can walk on the ice as if it were flat soil, “said Mao Shijie, head of the six -legged robots from Antarctica and director of the branch of Shanghai of the Lenovo Research Institute, quoted by CCTV.
In addition, the robot dog is equipped not only with specially designed shoes, but also with a battery with thermal insulation in its abdomen, allowing it to operate for two hours in extreme temperatures of Antarctica ranging from -30 ° C to -40 ° C.
However, this measure alone does not meet expectations, which prompted the development team to explore and implement more advanced solutions to considerably extend the lifespan of its battery. “For scientific research, we often need it to work for more than four hours, as when detecting the ice surface. In such cases, we add two additional batteries above the robot dog, which allows it to operate for 4 to 6 hours, “added Mr. Mao.
According to CCTV, the six -legged robot dog has now achieved tests involving the walking and transport of loads on slippery ice surfaces and at low temperature of the Antarctic, capable of supporting loads between 70 and 100 kilos. According to the research team, the robot dog tasks are not limited to the transport of supplies. In the future, it will be improved and modernized according to the needs of scientific research teams to support applications such as security detection and field operations.
-Mr. Mao also stressed that security is another major concern, because the crevices in the ice are invisible when walking on the surface. One of the essential missions of the robot dog is to transport an ice cream detector and walk in front of the whole team.
The data collected during on -site tests will improve and modify the robot dog in the future. The research team plans to improve current technology to allow the robot dog to perform security detection tasks.
In addition, developers wish to integrate the robot dog into robots and underwater drones to carry out combined operations, in particular in the context of complex scenarios such as submarine sampling in several places, frequently required by teams research.
Beyond scientific research, the six-legged robotic dog should play a role in various other areas, such as monitoring electrical equipment or the supply of a companion to the elderly living alone or having mobility problems thanks to The integration of AI technology.
Nowadays, the six -legged robotic dog is widely used in the field of electric inspection due to its high load capacity and stable walking capacities. He is able to monitor the condition of electrical equipment and detect problems such as rust, oil leaks or instrument abnormalities.
