Real pack mule can provide companionship and/or be emergency rations.

looks like it could do with losing a few pounds!!! still it's great to see such innovation, moving forward it could mean greater mobility for less able individuals?

I am a bit surprised that it is still quite noisy and still very inefficient compared with a horse or donkey. It might be worth using with a few more years refinement.

The difference between this and a horse/mule/ass is its ability to work remotely to the operator, potentially carry a greater payload and you cannot mount weapons to a horse - it will react badly when a gun starts firing.
For a simple efficient and flexible means of carrying an average load over rough terrain in support of personnel a mule is still a handy solution.
It will not be long before robotic devices such as this conduct routine patrols and even see fighting drones engage an enemy.

Where does the fuel tanker go behind it?

The enemy would hear them coming for miles!!

A real mule could eat grass at the side of the road. Not sure if this thing is bulletproof or not. Maybe they should look into body armor for mules.

You can train pack animals to ignore the sounds of war; it is in fact not particularly difficult once you accept that a percentage of them simply are not suitable. New York City has mounted police and from the horses perspective an urbane environment is not that different from a war zone.
It should not be too difficult to design a remote control unit for a horse or mule. All it would take is a smart phone, ear-buds, a few vibro-pads, and a solar collector to keep it charged.

Pretty weird. Should of used a Honda generator because they are super quiet.

Interesting project and a little bit of a nod to the future autonomous warfare described in countless movies such as The Terminator...the only difference is that this threat is home-grown, not from another solar system.
