A robot guard dog which doubles as home security will soon patrol houses around the world.

This is after groundbreaking developments were made by a Chinese tech firm.

The futuristic pooch isn’t just man’s best friend, but also a high tech guard dog to monitor your house.

The AI robot was created by China Mobile, which is the largest wireless carrier in China.

The robot dog, which is known as ‘Xiaoli’ was on display at this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain, along with other ‘home service’ robot models.

The company shared that Xiaoli will act as a companion in the house as well as home surveillance.

In a press release by China Mobile, it read: “The home robot is available in multiple designs, integrating advanced intelligent analysis with agile functionality to help manage household tasks and provide comprehensive security for your family.

“Equipped with cognitive and memory abilities, it serves as an emotional companion, assisting with children’s learning, offering comfort to the elderly, and safeguarding your home.”

Xiaoli will come equipped with a camera and the ability to climb stairs to patrol around the home.

The firm also showcased its humanoid robot, named ‘Fengqi’, which is due to be brought into spaces where some of the most vulnerable in society live.

It’s expected that Fengqi will become commercially available in the next three to five years but first the bots will be sent out into the community as a test pilot where it will assist with simple tasks such as cleaning surfaces and retrieving items.

These will be semi-structured environments including nursing homes where the humanoid robots will complete simple tasks.

Zhang Wencheng, the technical management manager of the Family Vision Product Department of the China Mobile Smart Home Operations Center, shared that the team had started their research into robotics in 2023.

And China Mobile isn’t the only company making advancements in AI robotics.

Unitree was also present at MWC to show off its Go2 model, which is a dog-like robot that moves on all-fours.

Unlike a dog though the bot can carry up to 120kg as well as trek through difficult terrain, climb over obstacles and more.

The company described the robot as being capable of completing ‘dangerous, urgent and repetitive tasks’.

Although, the Unitree dog robot doesn’t look quite as friendly as the China Mobile one, which comes with a digital face and a synthetic tail.
