Another front of the robotic/military matrimony revealed in South Korea:

Defense and communications technicians will team up to develop a mobile combat robot to fight alongside human soldiers on the battlefield, the government said Wednesday.

Officials heading the project said they have requested funding to develop the horse-like robot for deployment.

The robot will have six or eight extendable legs with wheels allowing it to move like an insect over uneven terrain.

The robot will be armed with various weapons and will operate both by remote control and its own artificial intelligence system.

I dunno, but I bet it can traverse a mud pile and you can strap Luke Skywalker to it with a twist-tie. Collect all four! Batteries and accessories not included. For Ages 8+

Sorry, but that picture totally looks like the front of an action figure box. Who are they trying to appeal to?
