Base leadership explains that the robot dogs will be given a regular patrol path that will be regularly monitored by an Air Force security officer.
While operating the robot, a 360-degree camera allows security workers to see the area around the "dog."
The driver can also use the machine's built-in speaker to talk to any intruders it encounters on patrol.
