China creates rideable robot horse

A riding robot horse has been created in China.

The four-legged Qiji X1 robot, developed by the Chinese startup DaxAI, has been introduced. This robot looks like a motorized, enlarged robot dog.

Qiji X1 can carry up to 300 kilograms of cargo and has a maximum speed of 9.6 kilometers per hour. It can travel up to 40 kilometers on a single charge.

A video showing the robot's demonstration has been widely circulated on the Internet. According to the manufacturers, the robot can independently move in difficult terrain, including steep slopes, mud and gravel roads. It can also be used as a vehicle in real conditions.

In the future, the Qiji X1 robot is planned to be used in heavy cargo transportation and rescue operations.

Users on social networks express different opinions about the robot horse. For example, one Reddit user jokingly wrote: "This is the second time a common noun has become obsolete due to technological advancements."
