Pack Mule 2.0?

Came across this today, and thought it was pretty neat. Saw it in an article about the military, so I'm not sure if it's being designed for the army or not.

Either way, this thing is pretty cool. A bit loud, but who knows where the idea will go.

BigDog is the alpha male of the Boston Dynamics family of robots. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system.
