I'm fairly sure this was already posted, but its a robotic pack mule, or at least thats the idea behind it. Good luck to the marine that has to control it while trying not to come under fire!

Not doubt somebody will want to slap me but why not just use a frickin' HORSE? Less maintenance and fuel issues. Certainly less noise and a damn sight cheaper. "Here we have the new, fully biological cyborg (put a blinking light on a collar or something) which is self-repairing, gets it's fuel from the environment, and best of all is self-replicating. Damn near a Von Nueman machine." No doubt some dumbass politician would be suckered into paying $25 million per horse.

Tried to put my finger on it and I think it's the fact that it looks like two skinny guys wearing pants with no upper body that made it look weird.

Machines are going to take over the world! Those legs are so creepy. The thing looks like it came from a horror movie or something.

Holy sh*t, that is indeed creepy.

Really cool though when he tries to kick the thing over. Pretty amazing.

I think I might be a hold out when robots start doing our house cleaning though. I dont know how well I could sleep with that thing around.

We already have a robot that does house cleaning. Its called a Roomba, and it keeps the floors clean and the level of dust throughout the house down.

If you're out in the field and that thing has a part break what's the liklihood you'll have a spare in your backpack?
