The United States military is regarded as one of the roughest and most powerful armed forces in the world, and this is a well-known fact that has been passed down long ago. The United States will undoubtedly be on the podium of recognition when it comes to the use of technology in the military.
In this article, I will be showing you the LS3 Robotic dogs used by the US army.
A legged robot that could work autonomously as a packhorse for a squad of soldiers or marines was the goal of the DARPA project known as the Legged Squad Support System (LS3).
The LS3 is a quadruped predecessor that has been ruggedized for military use and can function in a variety of climates, including hot, cold, wet, and dirty.
The LS3 robotic dogs were created by Boston Dynamics on December 3, 2009. Due to its ability to function in a variety of climates including heat, cold, wet, and mud it was created especially for the US army.
The LS3 was roughly the size and shape of a horse, and it can sense and navigate the terrain while carrying 400 pounds (180 kg) of squad equipment. When necessary, it can also operate quietly.
A two-stroke, one-cylinder, 15 brake horsepower (11 kW), over 9,000 RPM, go-kart engine powers the robot dog. The hydraulic leg actuators are driven by a hydraulic pump that is driven by the engine. Each leg has four actuators, with a hydraulic cylinder, servo valve, position sensor, and force sensor as part of each actuator unit……See More
