AlphaDog
AlphaDog is designed more for walking alongside troops rather than outpacing anyone
Scientists from Boston have invented a dog-like robot, which can carry over 180 kg on its back for 30 km and on any kind of terrain. It uses computer vision and GPS to follow a leader, rather than require a remote-controlled driver to tell it where to go.
Named AlphaDog or the legged squad support system (LS3) has been developed by boston Dynamics and funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the US Marine Corps.
AlphaDog can walk and trot over sharp rocks, though slowly. It will take the robot 24 hours to cover 30 km, without the need for refuelling. AlphaDog is designed more for walking alongside troops rather than outpacing anyone. LS3 will take 30 months to develop and is schedule for launch in 2012.
AlphaDog does not need a driver; it follows along with troops, making use of its global positioning system (GPS), computer vision and state-of-the-art hydraulics. AlphaDog is the offspring of BigDog, an earlier noisier version with limited payload and operating range.
