Terrifying robot dog can walk, climb, and even backflip on almost any terrain - but concerned viewers predict it will be 'hunting down every last human before long'

The idea of a robotic dog that can move on almost any terrain might sound like something from the latest episode of Black Mirror. But as this terrifying footage shows, it has now become a reality. The state-of-the-art robot dog is called Lynx, and is the brainchild of Chinese company, Deep Robotics. Equipped with four wheels instead of paws, the bot can walk, climb, and even backflip on everything from rocks to snow. Deep Robtics hopes that it could be used in search and rescue operations. However, some sceptics have already raised concerns about the four-legged robot.
