Prototype Robotic Pack Mule.

[swestrup]

I'd heard that the US army was developing a robotic pack mule (Warning: video is loud) to help soldiers carry heavy equipment into battle zones, over rough terrain, but I hadn't seen any videos of it till now. It seems good at keeping its ballance, now if only they could get it to stop mincing around.

Hey, that's kind of neat! We carry a lot of gear, and it's not always convenient to be driving instead of walking. The thing I would fix first, before the mincing, is the NOISE. We're pretty big into "sound discipline" and that robotic whine shoots it all to hell.

Doesn't seem worse than an M88, though.
