When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come and see!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, "A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!" - Revelation 6:5-6
This video depicts field testing of the DARPA Legged Squad Support System (LS3). The goal of the LS3 program is to demonstrate that a legged robot can unburden dismounted squad members by carrying their gear, autonomously following them through rugged terrain, and interpreting verbal and visual commands. -YouTube

DrNoodlessays...THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL!
Just saying. I <3 Science.
AeroMechanicalsays...Okay, this is cool. Very cool. But in terms of usefulness, it doesn't seem as good as an actual pack animal like a mule or a donkey.

Except you can kill an animal and there's no spare parts that'll fix it after that, you have to stop while it feeds for quite a while, it needs to rest, it can suddenly get afraid and run off on you, not follow an order because it doesn't feel like it, make sounds when not wanted...list goes on.
serosmegjokingly says...At least it's not really really loud.
JiggaJonsonsays...When are they mounting machine guns on these so I can become a grease monkey for our new noisy overlords?
deathcowsays...Goddard 1.0
Sagemindsays...I don't understand why the legs are at that weird angle. It makes them look like they would bend and break off if you added any extra weight to them. Wouldn't a more vertical leg be stronger? Maybe not straight up and down but less than they have used. It looked really awkward climbing uphill with the bent front legs - like it was skinning it's knees as it walked.
