The Precision Urban Hopper military robot

Looks like Boston Dynamics makers of the very well known Big Dog robot are at it again. A recently released video shows a new, small, 4-wheeled robot that can leap over obstacles of up to 7.5 meters high. The robot which can be seen in action in the video below, utilizes a piston-actuated leg to jump over obstacles that are up to 60 times its own height. The intended use for the Precision Urban Hopper is obviously military surveillance in urban environments. According to news reports, the robot will be available for use in the field next year. Lastly, the robot is meant to be remote controlled and not fully autonomous. I do suspect, however, that the final model will most likely allow for some autonomy to assist the human operator. This is almost always the case with such robots.
