Russian Railways Plans to Inspect Swallow Trains Using Robotic Dogs. The development of NIIAS experts is equipped with video cameras, lidar and artificial intelligence: it navigates independently in space and makes decisions. During tests at the Podmoskovnaya warehouse, the robotic dog inspected the axle boxes of the electric train and correctly assessed their condition. It is expected that the technology will help reduce the impact of the human factor and reduce the downtime of the train.
