Watch incredible robodog become the perfect shopping companion carrying 20kg of food and it can do other tricks too

Plus the whopping price of the battery alone

A CHINESE robotics company has filmed how its robodog can become the perfect shopping companion - for an eyewatering price.

The bionic dog is shown carrying 20kg of food and water to a shady riverside picnic in very hot weather, but that's not the only trick it can do.

While the military strap guns to these cyber pups, the robots are thought to future bag carriers for the ultra-wealthy.

The X30 quadruped, built by DEEP Robotics, can carry a significant amount of shopping, easing the burden on its owner.

DEEP Robotics, based in Hangzhou, says the quadruped is "unstoppable" even in "extreme weather";.

It can operate from -20°C to 55°C; and is even waterproof for any trips in torrential rain.

The robodog, which is pulled on a leash to walk, can even tackle obstacles some 20cm tall.

And another handy trick is that the X30 can help you fish - or at least hold the rod for you for a little while.

The firm wrote on its website: "With X30's unique integrated perception, it can autonomously navigate and operate in extreme environments such as darkness, strong light, flickering, and even without any light source."

The metre-long quadruped can trot after its owner for between 2.5 and four hours until its battery dies.

With max speeds of four metres per second, it can cover roughly 10km of ground in that time.

The company is currently selling the quadrupeds to industries such as power and utilities, rescue, tunnel, metal and mining, construction, and research.

But it says on its website that it does also sell to individuals.

The company appears to be trying to advertise the X30's individual-use cases, in an effort to lure in more "geek" buyers.

There is currently no price for the X30 on the DEEP Robotics website.

However, it is currently being resold on a US site, Maverick Drone Systems, for an eyewatering $65,000 (£51,100).

The battery alone is being sold for $4,500 (£3,540).

"Such a cool use case," one onlooker wrote beneath the YouTube video. "Too many robots focus on factories but never the normal person."
