Re: Big Dog Robot on Mars

Have you seen the amazing robot quadruped. Here's the You Tube link:-

Looks to me like that could be very useful for exploration of Mars.  It can carry a significant package.  It might be used to lay supplies robotically for exploration trails. Or it might accompany Mars explorers on journeys. Or it might be used around the base, particularly the industrial zone for fetching and carrying.

Re: Big Dog Robot on Mars

I would say that it would be a very effective aid to Martian explorers as long as we could keep it fueled.
