Although it may seem like something from science fiction movies, robotics has advanced, there are already fully functional models that for now must pass many tests so that at some point they will be put on sale commercially, of course, this for full domestic use with daily Homeworks. For its part, there are also metallic dogs, and one of them has the novelty of being able to activate one of the most lethal weapons in the world, which is normally used to disintegrate things easily.
The project name is Thermonator, and as the name says, they have the ability to activate a powerful flamethrower if their owner asks them to activate it, in fact in this case it is for sale, but only those who have exactly $10,000 available in their pocket can buy it. Its creators mention that it has an ARC flamethrower and is prepared to launch fire on demand anywhere with just the simple command.
As for its specifications, it measures 76.2 centimeters long, 50 centimeters wide and another 50 cm high, and weighs just under 17 kilograms. They add that it can be controlled remotely using a smartphone that connects via WiFi and Bluetooth. This adds mapping through LiDAR, laser sight, obstacle avoidance and first-person navigation, but all of this means that the battery does not last even two hours.
Here you can see it in action:
The objective of this creation includes controlled agricultural burning, the control and prevention of forest fires, the removal of ice or other surfaces at very low temperatures. Furthermore, it is not ruled out that government organizations may acquire it for defense, so it is not ruled out that the United States military has already taken some; especially because if you buy several copies you can get a discount.

Editor's note: It's a little scary that these types of weapons are made available to whoever can buy them, fortunately only millionaire people can get their hands on these. However, they may want to cut costs or something.
