Carnegie Mellon Develops Robot Dog Spotless

Carnegie Mellon University researchers demonstrated a robot dog named Spotless on Jan. 16, 2026, designed for search-and-rescue and hazardous-environment tasks. Spotless can detect gas, assess casualties, measure heart rates and speed up operations, with backing from Defense Department investment in local AI and robotics research. The system aims to reduce human risk and improve emergency-response situational awareness.
