Indian Army's Robotic Dogs 'Sanjay' Steal the Spotlight at Kolkata Republic Day Parade

The advanced robotic units, known as MULEs, showcased their versatile capabilities during the 76th Republic Day celebrations in Kolkata.

The Indian Army unveiled its robotic dogs, called Multi-Utility Legged Equipment (MULE) and nicknamed 'Sanjay,' during the Republic Day parade in Kolkata.
MULEs demonstrated their ability to perform tasks such as reconnaissance, surveillance, explosive detection, and tactical operations in challenging terrains.
Each robotic dog can carry a payload of up to 15 kg and operate in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 55°C, making them suitable for diverse military scenarios.
The Indian Army has inducted 100 MULEs into its units, highlighting their potential for use in perimeter security, asset protection, and chemical-biological-nuclear warfare contexts.
The parade, attended by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Governor CV Ananda Bose, also featured cultural performances and military displays celebrating India's Constitution and heritage.
