DARPA has funded research on this four-legged robot from a company called Boston Dynamics. The robot’s name is Big Dog, and it is really freaky… in a good way.
Old news. I keep up (to best as a “Joe Public” can) on what DARPA is up to. They make some awesome stuff, and this mule has been around for a long time. That is likely never to see the battle field. This might: https://www.fcs.army.mil/mule.html

This dog has been around for a long time. They released a video back in 2006, the new video was just cooler looking, and shows how far it has come in that time. You almost feel like you’re watching something alive. You have to agree, that mule vehicle isn’t half as cool!
All of the BigDog videos – and those of his creepy cousins can be found at: http://bigdogrobotvideos.com
if monty python had a movie about robots, i imagine it would look like this. i can almost hear the coconut shells in the background….
