Boston Dynamic's LS3 robot, helping soldiers 400 pounds at a time

Yet again, Boston Dynamics has created a new 4 legged robot. It's similar to BigDog, but it does have a few new perks. LS3 is what they call it, and it stands for, "Legged Squad Support System." Just like its brother, BigDog, it has 4 legs and has extreme balance. It can also tackle terrain without breaking a sweat. Unlike BigDog, however, it has a different chassis and is less noisy. Sensors enable it to follow a human leader while carrying a hefty payload of 400 pounds. LS3 carries out all these actions while sensing and avoiding impeding obstacles that try to intercept it's path.
