Comment on Marines Test Fire Robot Dog Armed with Rocket Launcherparent

Comments

It's interesting to note that the Marines refer to the design tested last month as a "robotic goat" rather than the far more common robot dog description.

Maybe four legs provides better all-terrain capabilities at lower parts cost than a treaded vehicle?

It doesn't have a tail and carries a load. So "goat" is indeed the far better metaphor. Trust the marines to get it right.
