U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is looking to spend up to $2 million on robot dogs, according to a federal procurement notice.
The Boston Dynamic SPOT Robots will help "support public safety and law enforcement operations by providing a remotely operated robotic capability for inspection, situational awareness, and hazard assessment in environments that may pose risks to personnel," according to the notice.
The technology is also used by the Secret Service. In 2024, the company's robot dogs were seen patrolling Mar-A-Lago in social media videos that went viral.
The robot dogs, which are equipped with 360-degree cameras and can open doors, are also used by police departments across the country.
They cannot attack like a normal police dog, but they do have extendable arms.
