How many times have partnered to DARPA with robotics ? Many no doubt will do so again. In September, the network appeared a kind of mule robot developed by that agency and which is intended to carry heavy things. Obviously the idea behind it is to assist the troops on the battlefield avoiding them having to carry the heavy load.
This robot, known as LS3, has been much improved lately, and they have integrated functions for voice commands, also serves for night operations and even has GPS navigation.
LS3 is able to understand commands like "forward", "stop" and the like to proceed to act as ordered. In the video below we can also see that it has different speeds and besides that the robot is able to stand if you fall and continue his march normally.
