The site Kuai Keji (MyDrivers) picked up a report from “1818黄金眼” on 2 October. A business owner in Zhejiang wanted robots for an inspection project. He ordered four quadruped robot dogs from a manufacturer, then faced delivery delays and quality problems.

The two “medium dogs” ordered as reinforcements arrived quickly. But the problem appeared as soon as the first adjustments began: standing up, they lost their balance and walked unsteadily.

The first dogs ordered, the “large” ones, did not arrive on the agreed date. To justify the delay, the manufacturer explained that their motors had to be upgraded.

There was another setback. The buyer wanted to reprogram the robots to monitor a business park and inspect sites abroad. Once the machines were delivered, he found he did not have the development key needed to access their base software.
