The unarmed reconnaissance and utility member of China’s fictional CQG-17 quadruped family.
Quadruped ground robot · Fictional extrapolation · In coalition service by 2040
Technical basis
The A-model carries visible and thermal cameras, mapping sensors, communications relays, baskets, and auxiliary interfaces. It balances and navigates locally but does not make lethal decisions. In Isfahan it screens tanks, inspects hazards, and deliberately draws fire where exposing a crew would be unacceptable.
