The physical building of these robot dogs calls for materials and manufacturing techniques that challenge present engineering capacity. The external shell makes use of a composite material including carbon nanotubes mixed with a unique metal alloy to produce a structure that is simultaneously quite lightweight and quite robust. This material needs to be produced under exact conditions; even little changes in pressure or temperature would produce useless parts. The manufacturing of these materials calls for specialised facilities and equipment that are now in somewhat limited supply globally, therefore generating a major manufacturing process bottleneck.
