The video has left the netizens split. Some people expressed excitement at this technological development, however, some expressed fear regarding the advanced features of the robo-dogs. 

The video of the robotic dog was shared by Deep Robotics on YouTube with the caption, “Extreme Off-Road | DEEPRobotics Lynx All-Terrian Robot.” 

In the video footage, the four-legged Lynx robot was seen moving uphill and downhill smoothly as it crossed the hurdles carefully ranging from rocks to low walls.

The robot is seen changing its position, sometimes standing on four feet and sometimes on two. It also did a backflip and took sharp turns at speed.

The robot has all-terrain wheels and not just feet, which is reportedly different from its predecessors.

As reported by the Sun, the machine can work at extreme temperatures between -20°C to 55°C. This means that the robot is also waterproof making it possible to use it in torrential rainfall.

Here's how social media users reacted 

“The military application of this technology is terrifying,” wrote a YouTube user. 

“That's amazing. I like how it adapted to rolling down the hill and slowing its speed by tilting the entire body sideways. Perfect manoeuvrability," added another user.

“Oh s**t, that’s actually deadly," commented a third user.

“While you thought it was a robot dog, it stood up rollerskating toward you and was about to punch with its front wheels," joked a fourth user.

“This is insanity. People have no conception of what is coming," wrote a fifth user.

“With X30's unique integrated perception, it can autonomously navigate and operate in extreme environments such as darkness, strong light, flickering, and even without any light source,” wrote the company on its website.
