Authorities in Guadalupe, Mexico, presented four dog-shaped robots that will join the surveillance operation at Estadio BBVA. This venue will be one of the host sites for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The devices, reported by Wired, are part of a modernization of the security system ahead of the international event.

Their design allows access to hard-to-reach areas for traditional surveillance. They operate on rechargeable batteries and are prepared to function in various lighting and crowd conditions.
