The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has for years explored the possibility of using legged robots to carry troop supplies where wheeled robots dare not tread (particularly through narrow mountain passes or up across uneven terrain).

A possible future assistant to military personnel in the field. The robot dog can be used to haul equipment.
