The Army has sent at least one "robot dog" armed with an artificial intelligence-enabled gun turret to the Middle East .

The Defense Department has been gradually incorporating robot dogs into its formations over the last several years .

The Chinese People's Liberation Army debuted its own robot dog armed with a variant of the 5.8x42mm QBZ-95 assault rifle in May .

Defense contractors say AI -powered robot guns can track, engage and destroy fast-moving targets without having to expend dozens (or even hundreds ) of rounds in the process like the average U.S. service member.

The Army is experimenting with armed robot dogs but doesn't necessarily mean they'll end up deploying alongside troops.
