I would think afterward it would be hard to stuff and hang on the wall.

Definitely not stealthy.

But very nifty. I was amazed when the guy kicked it and it didn't fall over. That is am amazing feat for a computer controlled robot.

It is a neat advancement in tech but I just can't help but wonder wouldn't a real mule work better and be cheaper???

Imagine that thing with a 50 cal chain gun and a video camera /remote feed

It could wander around afghanistan while some guy in Virginia controls it via remote control.

As long as never becomnes self-aware !

Amazing piece of equipment but can tell ya,,if seen down here roaming the woods, he wouldn't last long before a 7mag. took it out. Can you imagine the reports coming in when this thing is sited walking around the countryside ??

Yeah, I can definely see military potential with it. Down the road after refining its movement to be more natural. Cover it to look like a real animal. Hell, if Hollywood can do it, I'm sure it could be done in the military as well.
