This is the kind of robotic development the DOD currently funds in the US, this is basically a pack mule that can carry all the equipment an isolated strike group may require when operating in Southern Afghanistan.

The obvious question is... don't mules work just as great? Their answer was "mules need food and water which maybe scare in these locations", the question then being isn't electrical power even more scare there as well?

Duh.

If you are wondering why, it's a DARPA funded project to create pack mules for US soldiers. Go figure.
