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

this is what the company behind this says it's useful for:

Wildfire Control and Prevention Agricultural Management Ecological Conservation Snow and Ice Removal Entertainment and SFX

first two sound pretty reasonable to me, as someone with a very basic understanding of wildfire control.
snow and ice removal, i mean it's definitely gonna do that but i can't think of any place where it would be necessary to use a robot dog for it.
the last one's self explanatory.

i'd love to be optimistic and say that this robot will only get used for harmless or good deeds but i know this thing is already being retrofitted by cops to shoot tear gas or some bullshit

Why not deploy it as is? Great for crowd control
