I still freak outevery single time I see the BigDog quadruped robotdoing its matter . That ’s probably the same reaction that enemy soldiers will have when they see its last adaptation coming towards them , run 400 - pound sign of train .

Darpa has eventually okay the declaration for Boston Dynamics ’ LS3 — which stand up for Legged Squad Support System — for the US Marines . Like BigDog , it will travel autonomously for 20 mile without refueling , carrying 400 pounds of equipment for the soldier in its police squad .
Mark Raibert , the President of the United States of the troupe and the principal investigator for the programme , is excited :
If LS3 can offload 50 lbs from the back of each solider in a squad , it will repress warfighter harm and tiredness and increase the combat potency of our troops . The LS3 political platform shows just how serious DARPA and the Marine Corps are about build practical , legged golem to offload our unhorse troops .
Makes pure mother wit . Let ’s hope that the brilliant engineers at Boston Dynamics — who are not only doing amazing robots for the military , but amazing robotic organisation , period — can bring their amazing exploitation to other aspect of human life beyond state of war .
