‘The multipedal walking robot for anti-terrorism operations, which moves with four legs, has been pilot deployed to the army, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration announced on the 12th.’,
,
‘The multipedal walking robot for anti-terrorism operations was selected for swift pilot project in August 2022, and was developed by Hyundai Rotem and Rainbow Robotics on the 5th of this month.’,
,
‘The swift pilot project is an initiative to swiftly research and develop weapon systems with new technologies within two years, and then verify their performance through pilot operations by the military.’,
,
‘For the next 6 months, the army will deploy this robot to the Special Warfare Command and one front-line division to verify its performance and military utility, and decide on its adoption.’,

‘According to the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, the multipedal walking robot for anti-terrorism operations can move at a speed of over 4 km/h and can climb vertical obstacles such as stairs of about 20 cm. Equipped with cameras, it can also perform surveillance and reconnaissance missions.’,
,
‘The military plans to use this robot to confirm enemy threats on site instead of deploying troops in the event of a terrorist incident.’,
,
‘As it can attach and detach various equipment such as remote firearms, it can also perform missions to suppress enemies. In the front-line division, it will be pilot deployed for guard duty, search and reconnaissance.’,

Han Kyung-ho, Director of Future Power Business at the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, said, “It is meaningful to deploy and operate a multipedal walking robot capable of performing combat missions for the first time in the military.”
