China's new robot yak is capable of moving forward, backward, and diagonally. According to state media, it can even "dash and jump."
The country's military is apparently envisioning using it to lug materials including munitions and food through mountainous regions or deserts where conventional vehicles struggle.

China's latest arsenal of quadruped robots proves the country's latest technological advancements when it comes to the battlefield, a rapidly growing industry that could change the face of combat forever.
