The terrifying moment a robot dog pulls a 3-ton AIRPLANE with ease across more than 30 feet
Robot dogs have come along way from the days of being tipped over by humans. A surprising new video shows off just how advanced the four-legged droids have become, as a'HyQReal' robo-dog can be seen dragging an airplane that weighs a whopping 3 tons across the Geneva Airport in Italy. HyQReal was created by researchers at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) as a device designed to support humans in emergency situations. Luckily, as the video shows, the robot dog would almost certainly be capable of lifting a heavy human. The robot dog drags the heavy airplane with apparent ease across approximately 33 feet before a researcher with a game controller makes it stop. It's an amazing feat, considering the HyQReal weighs just over 280lbs and is roughly 4ft long.
