US Military #News – “Welcome to the Kahuku Training Area in Hawaii, where the future of infantry logistics was once put to the ultimate test. During RIMPAC 2014, the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab field-tested the Legged Squad Support System, or LS3.
Developed by Boston Dynamics and DARPA, this four-legged beast—nicknamed ‘Cujo’ by the troops—was designed to be a robotic pack animal. Capable of carrying four hundred pounds of gear across rugged terrain that vehicles simply couldn’t reach, the LS3 followed Marines autonomously using advanced computer vision and GPS. Watch as Lance Corporal Brandon Dieckmann operates this experimental tech during one of the largest maritime exercises in history.” #tech #technology #robotics
