In the last few years, robotic dogs have become more common in Chinese people's daily lives. These are special robots that look like dogs and they are popular. They look cool and can do many things. Thanks to better AI and robot technology, they keep getting better.

These mechanical dogs are used in more and more places. They can move quickly and talk to people. This helps a lot at work and in everyday life.
For example, in early summer, in Shunyi, Beijing, a gray robotic dog helps forest firefighters. This dog was made by Unitree Robotics. It joined the fire team in March. It weighs about 12.5 kilograms. It can patrol places, talk in real-time, and give warnings. It uses sensors(传感器) to find problems and sends information to an emergency centre.
In many other places in China, robotic dogs are also hard at work. In April, at a port in Zhejiang, they checked shipping containers(集装箱). They looked for damage and sent information to the a cloud platform. This was the first time robots helped with customs work there.
In Qingdao, two robotic dogs joined the fire and rescue team in February. They can work for 3.6 hours and go over 15 kilometres. They follow heat places, send videos, and find dangerous gases.
In Hangzhou, a new platform uses robotic dogs to check water quality. In Mount Taishan, they carry heavy things and clean up. In a Hangzhou nursing home, a small dog named Xiaoxi helps old people. It can give medicine, remind them to eat, and even talk with them. If an old person falls, it calls for help.
Robotic dogs also help kids. Many schools use them in classes. And now, more people can buy them. They can watch homes, talk with people, and be good partners.
