Robotic dogs take out trash on Mount Tai

A robotic dog being tested for garbage transport draws the attention of visitors at Mount Tai in Tai'an, Shandong province. CHINA DAILY Robotic dogs are expected to help transport waste at Mount Tai in Tai'an, Shandong province, merging cutting-edge technology with environmental conservation to address the growing waste management challenges at this popular tourist destination. "The robotic dogs demonstrate superior stability on relatively flat or less steep sections, such as the base and middle parts of the mountain," said Jin Da, market manager at Unitree Robotics in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. "The robotic dogs' ascent on Mount Tai demonstrates their reliability and practicality in challenging conditions, providing valuable insights for future applications in rescue operations, exploration and logistics fields," Jin said. "We are still in the testing phase and will further refine the design to implement the next round of tests promptly, aiming to successfully deploy the robotic dogs for waste transportation in the Mount Tai scenic area," he added.
