US Immigration and Customs Enforcement will soon deploy four robot dogs made by Waltham, Massachusetts-based Boston Dynamics, according to Boston 25 News. The quadruped robots, originally designed for industrial inspection and rescue work, are increasingly being adopted by law enforcement and border agencies. The report has drawn attention to the growing use of advanced robotics in immigration enforcement and the ethical questions that come with it.
Why now: The use of advanced military-style robots by an immigration enforcement agency is controversial and raises surveillance and civil liberties concerns.
