    "excerpt": "The quadruped, the size of a Saint Bernard, is impressive. With a black coat and prominent mechanisms, RX-1, the first robot developed by Helsing, takes a few powerful steps in the premises of the European defense start-up's Parisian office. Presentation videos, where it is seen moving in nature, among bushes and stones, descending or climbing slopes, falsely led us to believe that its format was closer to a bulldog than to the famous mountain dog. Also read: Antoine Bordes (Helsing): 'Protecting democracies through responsible and ethical defense AI'\nHelsing thinks big. Robotics is undergoing a revolution thanks to AI, and the young company, founded in 2021, does not intend to miss it. To this end, in January, it acquired a Barcelona-based start-up at the forefront of autonomous robot dogs specialized in industrial site inspection, Keybotics. RX-1 is the first offspring of this acquisition. On the side of the robot, one can read 'Area 9', the name given to Helsing's research division, its internal incubator, located in anonymized premises in the center of Paris.",
