Market Introduction

The global AI Robot Dog market was valued at USD 1,990.39 Million in 2024 and grew at a CAGR of 20.40% from 2025 to 2034. The market is expected to reach USD 12,740.96 Million by 2034. The market is driven by a surge in the enhancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI). These AI robot dogs can be very useful for those who are exceptionally looking for a companion. It can be very useful in the context of health and well-being, as it can be programmed to cater to individuals with distinct needs, such as visually impaired persons or elderly people. Hence, they can be of great advantage in comparison to real dogs. For instance, post-pandemic Japanese started feeling loneliness and isolation and therefore, social robots have become crucial for them for mind healing and comfort. Hence, AI-driven robot dogs have started winning the minds and hearts of the people of Japan.

Many four-legged dogs have been recently deployed in the workforce for applications such as security, inspections, and public safety.  The four-legged robots are mobility platforms equipped with various payloads, depending on the type of information the organisation wants to collect. For instance, National Grid, an electric and gas utility organisation, helps customers in New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. The organisation is using two robots made by Boston Dynamics, a Massachusetts-based company. They are used for performing routine inspections.  These robots have LIDAR, which helps them in navigating. Additionally, they utilise visual and thermal cameras, which enable the capture of detailed photos and thermal images of the equipment in the substation.

It has been observed that there has been a growth in investment in the development of robots, as they can help improve safe operating conditions for employees. It also has an advantage like it can collect the images using the same angle and from the same vantage every single time it is sent for inspection, which can be very useful as it helps in comparing the images collected at different times so that one can see the trend or any change in the behaviour of the object or environment. For instance, organisations like Merck and BP are using AI robot dogs to autonomously read gauges, monitor corrosion, and check for methane on some of the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. Similarly, Petronas, a Malaysian oil and gas organisation, uses robot dogs by Anybotics for the inspection of offshore platforms. Moreover, NASA is also sending teams of robotic dogs into the caves to check if they can be used for searching for life on other planets. It also has huge potential for the security and defence sector as their unique skills can be used in hazardous and challenging conditions. It can help navigate through rugged topography to save stranded individuals from risky situations caused by natural catastrophes. It can also help in search and rescue operations and surveillance, among others.
