- The Legged Squad Support System (LS3) is a rough-terrain robot developed by Boston Dynamics with funding from DARPA and the US Marine Corps. It is designed to carry 400 lbs of payload and travel 20 miles without refueling. LS3 has sensors that let it follow a human leader while avoiding obstacles in the terrain.

For such a heavy machine, it's surprisingly nimble. Especially on the dirt road.
Imagine being in a blackout and hearing that and thinking it's just a generator until you looked out the window.
I wonder what other animals think when they see this thing coming! Very impressive leg movement and balance!!
Love the vision system upgrades. You guys make the best robots!
Looking very good. I love how stable it is, and how it copes with not being on all four feet.
I love it's ability to go through nearly any terrain. Interesting how we continuously draw our inspirations from animals.
It can follow the leader... But can the leader escape its follow?
All of my want! I'd love to work on these epic machines.
This is an engineering *masterpiece*--well done!
not gonna lie, this is pretty amazing. Just think of the good this could accomplish!
this is awesome, we're so close to the robotic future!
The amount it can carry is actually quite impressive! They could use it for evacuaiting wounded people from rough terrains
If it could be mounted than that would be great
It's amazing how far they came
I'd love to see the source code for one of these robots, just so I can stare at it in awe.
well, this has come far, last i saw it on tv somewhere some time ago, it was still tethered to some crane for power and i don't think it could "see". i remember thinking how awesome and lifelike it acts if you give it a good hard push (like cow tipping) and it would scramble to keep balance!
It's incredible how BostonDynamics has evolved their 4-legged system! These are one of the first true robots I've seen, congratulations!
It will be interesting to see how and when they actually finally subdue the noise problem.
We're either being attacked by killer robots or somebody's doing some major landscaping.
Wow, just wow! Congrats to team at Boston Dynamics. And to the horse/nature from which so many lessons can be learned.
