Spider drone

Spider drones are robots employed by the Chinese Army in the Anchorage Reclamation simulation in the Fallout 3 add-on, Operation: Anchorage.

Background
These robots serve as mobile landmines for the Chinese army. Their primary method of attack is to approach enemy targets and explode. They are only encountered briefly during the quest "Paving the Way" and thus, there is very little information to be gathered on them.

According to a Chinese terminal entry, the model encountered in the Anchorage Reclamation simulation is designated "spider drone Mk VI prototype", and are air dropped via bombers.

Gameplay attributes
A Chinese terminal entry advises their own soldiers to be careful around the drones even though they are configured to only attack Americans. Additionally, you will occasionally see a Chinese soldier fighting one of these on the way to the Chimera Depot, suggesting that the prototypes might still suffer from problems with friend-or-foe recognition or might even lack it entirely.

Appearances
Spider drones appear in the Fallout 3 add-on Operation: Anchorage. A modified version appears be a projectile for the spider rifle in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on, Lonesome Road.
