With the recent AI developments and push for humanoid robots, maybe the bigdog concept will make a comeback.
The original bigdogs were built in the late 2000's with a noisy gas powered engine. The spot robot is much quieter with newer technology. Maybe they can upscale that platform.
On a side note, how does a bigdog like robot compare with using an animal like a horse or mule? Has there been very much horse/mule use in the military for the same purpose that the bigdog robot was intended for?
