Boston Dynamics LS3 Robot - World's Most Advanced Military Robotics

"The goal of this machine is to go where the warfighter goes while carrying the load." — Kevin Blankespoor | Chief engineer on the Legged Squad Support System project Marines test the capabilities of the Legged Squad Support System for the first time.

Marines with 1st Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, put the system through its paces at Fort Devens, Mass.. The system, or Boston Dynamics LS3, is designed to reduce the load Marines carry in combat, can reach speeds of 6 mph and carry up to 400 pounds. The LS3 was created by Boston Dynamics with funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and is currently being tested by the Marine Corps.

what about the sound from the engine? Give away to the enemy. Quiet engines? Possible?

Can you see troopers riding similar robots on patrol? I can! Jeb Stuart and his cavalry scouting...deja vu, all over again!

[phoeniximperator]

how do you charge the battery on this in the field?

[paulinerocha]

the point is that they could do it, that they were able to make one now they just have to keep improving it... these people criticizing... when it's improved enough maybe it can help farmers, maybe cheap enough for small farmers, etc. etc
