Big Dog Quadraped Robot

From the Benning Report comes this look at the latest incarnation of the Legged Squad Support System (LS3) technology which was transitioned from DARPA. Manufactured by Boston Dynamics, the 220 lbs robot is designed to accompany foot Soldiers in the most arduous of terrain to bear heavy loads. The Big Dog can kneel and follow Soldiers across terrain by “feeling” the ground through sensors built into its legs.
