The IDF's next move in the Gaza Strip? The American military has succeeded in producing a robot resembling a donkey or mule, which can carry weapons and military equipment. This was reported by the Sky News website.

The robot, which replaces the traditional donkey or camel, is capable of carrying a weight of about 200 kg on its back and moving a distance of 20 km without refueling.

And how does the robot donkey move?

The accompanying soldier has a sensor attached to his leg, and the robot reads it computerized, so there is no need for a driver or, in our case, a donkey. The robot has a wonderful balancing ability, and is able to maintain balance and return to a stable gait even after a strong blow.

The robot was created by the robotics company Boston Dynamics, and has been in development for about three years.
