从单任务平台到多域无人作战系统节点 机器狗持续迈向实战 ■李泽平 CODiAQ武装四足机器人 今年5月,澳大利亚一家公司称,其研发的CODiAQ武装四足机器人已获得美国国防部有限安全放行许可,正式进入作战测试与评估阶段。根据相关合同,该公司将向美方交付14套CODiAQ武装四足机器人及28个模块化武器载荷。这意味着,这型武装四足机器人朝着实战部署迈出了重要一步。 四足机器人,俗称机器狗。因为它与传统轮式或履带式无人地面平台相比,拥有一些“独门功夫”,所以近年来受到各国关注。首先是具有较强的地形适应性。机器狗靠“四肢”行走的特点,使它能够攀爬楼梯、穿越废墟瓦砾场,还能穿行于狭小空间遂行一些任务。其次是行动隐蔽且灵活。机器狗通常身形低矮,体积不大,转弯半径小,大部分型号采用电力驱动,行进噪声低,难以被敌方红外与声学探测手段发现。再次,机器狗通过算法控制,在地面高低不平的情况下,仍能保持姿态平稳,这为其后续的武器化改造奠定了基础。 基于这些方面的特点,不少国家都选择将其打造为情报侦察、紧急补给或直接打击平台。如2024年底,德国从美国幽灵机器人公司引进4台Vision 60机器狗,将其用于侦察与地雷探测。俄乌冲突中,英国向乌克兰提供的30多套BAD.2第二代机器狗,主要用于执行侦察探测和后勤补给任务,最多可一次性携带超过7千克的物资。同样是在2024年,美国海军陆战队特种作战司令部让UGV机器狗搭载步枪,并组织了相关射击测试。 如今,随着相关技术的成熟与运用,新一代机器狗的功能进一步拓展。以CODiAQ武装四足机器人为例,它采用模块化设计,可集成40毫米榴弹发射器与霰弹枪两种武器系统,也可根据任务需求选装非致命武器。 人工智能与自主协同技术的融入,使新一代机器狗变得更加“聪明”,也更善于“打群架”。如CODiAQ武装四足机器人配备有辅助瞄准软件,无论是白天还是晚上都能自主识别目标,完成弹道计算。一些国家正在研发机器狗集群系统,致力于实现“人—车—狗”的互联互通、信息共享和动态自主协同。 尽管各国的研发紧锣密鼓,但当下军用机器狗的发展仍存在一些技术软肋。 续航能力不足是其当下最大的制约因素,当前各国研发的机器狗续航时间通常只有数小时,例如Vision 60在典型任务模式下续航时间约3小时,在长时间高强度作战中难以持续行动。囿于体形不大,其关键部位、传感器等都缺乏足够的装甲防护,爆炸产生的破片甚至步枪弹片都可能使其失能。部分机器狗需借助通信链路来指控,一旦进入峡谷洞穴或城市地下空间,它们就可能因信号“掉线”失去作用。 这种情况下,不少国家在研发使用机器狗时,选择将它与其他无人平台搭配使用,即让机器狗与无人机、无人战车等平台组网,形成优势互补的无人作战体系,以此发挥机器狗地面节点的作用。 目前,这方面的研发仍在进行中。机器狗从单任务平台过渡到多域无人作战系统节点还需要多长时间,尚难以给出定论。

Summary

Machine summary

A PLA-affiliated analyst, writing under the byline Li Zeping, surveys the current state of armed quadruped robot development across multiple militaries — centering on the CODiAQ system's May 2025 entry into U.S. DoD operational testing, Germany's procurement of Ghost Robotics Vision 60 units, and UK-supplied BAD.2 systems used in Ukraine — and catalogs both capabilities and persistent weaknesses including endurance limits of roughly three hours, vulnerability to fragmentation, and signal dropout in enclosed terrain. The article documents PLA professional interest in the trajectory from single-mission platforms toward networked unmanned ground-air systems, framing the robot dog as a future ground node in multi-domain unmanned combat architectures. What remains unspecified is whether any PLA unit is currently fielding or testing comparable systems at scale.
