Does anyone here know if these are in large scale use in military yet?

Classified.

I know liberal democrats would just love to use em to control their "sheep" during martial law or the next lockdown.

Also classified.

I could see an exhibition of a couple if they were in the development stage but these appear to be in full production. I have no idea how or where they are going to be used.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 19, 2023

ARLINGTON, VA - The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Department of Defense’s premier research and development enterprise, is delighted to announce a groundbreaking health initiative: the Integration of Robotic Kinetic Vaccine Delivery Systems (IRKVDS) on DARPA’s robotic canines.

This initiative builds upon DARPA’s cornerstone research and cutting-edge advancements in robotics and autonomous systems, intending to expedite the vaccination process and mitigate the spread of infectious diseases. The primary focus of this program will be on rural communities that exhibit high levels of resistance to conventional healthcare methodologies.

Our deployment strategy is based on extensive data analytics, with sources including social media patterns and mobile phone usage surveillance. This strategic approach enables us to identify and target communities that are traditionally hard-to-reach and reluctant to accept standard health services. The robotic canines, equipped with advanced terrain-navigating capabilities, aim to make health services more accessible and less intimidating, thus reducing disparities in healthcare coverage in these specifically targeted areas.

The Kinetic Vaccine Delivery Systems (KVDS) to be mounted on the robotic canines is a precision-engineered mechanism, designed for swift, accurate, and minimal-contact vaccine administration, while upholding the high standards of medical hygiene. By reducing the discomfort often associated with immunizations, we aim to overcome a significant barrier faced by healthcare-averse individuals.

The integration of robotic canines with KVDS is a crucial milestone in DARPA’s contributions to public health. It exemplifies our commitment to harnessing advanced technology for societal welfare, aligning with our mission to make pivotal investments in breakthrough technologies for national security.

Further details about the program, including the deployment schedule and targeted areas, will be released in due course.

Boston Dynamics is now 80% owned by South Korea, 20% by Japan. It might not be worth the paper it's printed on, but they published an open letter stating: General Purpose Robots Should Not Be Weaponized
