A platoon of robotic dogs, called Multi-Utility Legged Equipment (MULEs), were seen during the parade. Designed for enhancing operational capabilities, especially in difficult terrains like high altitudes and deserts, 100 of these robotic dogs were recently added to the arsenal of the Indian Army.
The quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicles are equipped with advanced sensors and are capable of tracking hostile artillery and offer precise counter-fire. They will also enhance reconnaissance and perimeter security.
The robotic dogs also have electro-optical systems and thermal imaging sensors with payload capabilities of up to 12 kilograms. The MULEs can also be used for combat with small arms.
