Summary

The US Secret Service has deployed Boston Dynamics’ robotic dog “Spot” to patrol Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, bolstering security after recent assassination attempts.

Equipped with surveillance technology, 3D mapping cameras, and thermal sensors, Spot can navigate complex terrain and follow pre-programmed routes.

While unarmed, it supports human agents in detecting and deterring threats.

Despite its advanced features, the robot can be disabled with something as simple as hairspray.

The use of robotic dogs by law enforcement and military agencies is growing, though concerns about potential weaponization persist.
