第一批用于监视和运输轻型货物的机器人参加了浦那建军节阅兵

The Indian military has introduced its first batch of four-legged, AI-powered robots, which marched through the city of Pune on Wednesday as part of its Army Day parade. Called MULES (Multi-Utility Legged Equipment) and designed to resemble dogs, these machines will be used for surveillance as well as to transport light loads.

印度军方推出了第一批四足人工智能机器人，周三，它们作为建军节阅兵的一部分在浦那市游行。这些机器被称为 MULES骡子（多功能有腿设备），设计得像狗，将用于监视以及运输轻型负载。

The army placed an order for 100 robotic MULES as part of an emergency procurement scheme in 2023, according to local media. The robots were supplied last year by AeroArc, a New Delhi-based company, Indian Defence Research Wing reported in October.

据当地媒体报道，作为 2023 年紧急采购计划的一部分，陆军订购了 100 架机器骡子。印度国防研究部门 10 月份报道称，这些机器人由总部位于新德里的 AeroArc 公司在去年提供。

Purchased under a 2.8 billion rupee ($33 million) deal, these robots are designed for autonomous movement across diverse terrains, and are capable of operating at altitudes of up to 10,000 feet. Equipped with advanced thermal cameras and sensors, the four-legged vehicles are also capable of carrying small arms to engage enemy forces when needed.

这些机器人以 28 亿卢比（3300 万美元）的价格购买，设计用于在不同地形上自主移动，并且能够在高达 10,000 英尺的海拔运行。这些四足车辆配备了先进的热像仪和传感器，还能够携带小型武器，在需要时与敌军交战。

The MULES underwent trials in November last year. Over 50 soldiers from Battle Axe, an elite division of the Indian Army, and ten robotic dogs tested their effectiveness in combat and logistical scenarios. The exercises were conducted in harsh desert conditions to uate the robot’s versatility and endurance, according to reports. The initiative is part of the modernization of the Indian armed forces.

MULES 于去年 11 月进行了试验。来自印度陆军精锐战斧师的 50 多名士兵和 10 只机器狗测试了它们在战斗和后勤场景中的有效性。据报道，这些演习是在恶劣的沙漠条件下进行的，以评估机器人的多功能性和耐力。该举措是印度武装部队现代化的一部分。

Integrating India’s robodogs into army operations aligns with global trends, as robotics and automation have increasingly enhanced operational efficiency and combat effectiveness. Military powers worldwide are experimenting with their own “robo” warriors.

将印度的机器人狗融入军队行动符合全球趋势，因为机器人和自动化日益提高了作战效率和战斗力。世界各地的军事强国正在试验自己的“机器人”战士。

During the recent China-Cambodia Golden Dragon 2024 drills, the Chinese military showcased a robot dog equipped with an automatic rifle mounted on its back. Videos posted online demonstrated the four-legged vehicle walking, hopping, lying down, and moving backward.

在最近的中柬金龙2024演习中，中国军方展示了一只背着自动步枪的机器狗。网上发布的视频展示了这辆四足车的行走、跳跃、躺下和向后移动。
