Known as the Legged Squad Support System or LS3, this robotic \u201cmule\u201d will help carry supplies in combat situations over rough terrains and places accessible only on foot. It resembles the Big Dog and Little Dog robots developed by the company. It\u2019s also possible that LS3-like combat robots may eventually draw more on renewable energy like wind and sun than on fossil fuels. <\/p>\n<p>So how will a combat robot help the environment? Well this could be a start for robots designed to serve the environment like <a href=\"http:\/\/cleantechnica.com\/2009\/12\/20\/robot-corps-to-repair-nations-water-mains\/\">water main repair robots<\/a> and solar powered <a href=\"http:\/\/cleantechnica.com\/2008\/11\/29\/solar-powered-robot-will-guard-your-home-fertilize-your-lawn\/\">gardening robots<\/a>. Walking robots can also help in humanitarian aid in far flung regions and in disaster relief operations.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s hope that these robots that aid wars will indirectly help pave the way for a greener future. <\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/cleantechnica.com\/2010\/02\/11\/ls3-all-terrain-military-robot-mule-could-play-a-green-role-too\/\">Cleantechnica<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is not some futuristic robot right out of a game; the LS3 is in fact a walking robot that is being developed by Boston Dynamics, the company that won the $32 million contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) for it.
