Just when you thought the world had reached peak ‘robot dog’, Deep Robotics has decided to turn the volume up to eleven with the Lynx S10. Weighing in at a nimble sub-20kg, this mechanical hound can hit speeds of over 8 m/s—comfortably outrunning most Olympic sprinters without breaking a sweat (or a circuit). It even features swarm control, allowing them to operate in packs, which is absolutely fine and not at all the start of a sci-fi horror flick. Boasting an IP66 rating and the chops to scramble over rubble-strewn staircases, this isn’t a high-tech pet; it’s a rugged workhorse built for the kind of environments where you really wouldn’t want to send a human.
