I have long attested that whatever sci fi can think up, humans will eventually create.

In b4 451 isnt SciFi

I'm not remembering a mechanical dog in fahrenheit 451, but it's been decades since I've read it....

Also not at all worried about "footed" robots navigating the real world.

That Boston dynamics robot runs at like 4 miles an hour. The fastest robot dog runs at like almost 12 or something.

Average running speed for humans is between 6.4 and 8 mph depending on gender, etc. And if the obesity rates are correct, I think that it's probably a lot lower and for incredibly short bursts if anything.

Here's the record.

Strap a weapon to this bad boy, and howdy, you've got a war machine!

Isn't there a cheetah bot that can burn a good clip. Dunno what its carrying capacity is, but I remember it could out run puny protestors.

After looking it up, it says about 8.86 mph after converting from 13 feet per second. Some sites say it's 13 mph, but I trust wired when they state 13 feet per second.
