We already have a few unmanned ground vehicles in the field or in development.

The Black Knight being evaluated by the US Army


The Gladiator Tactical Unmanned Ground Vehicle being developed for the Marine Corps


The Guardium Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicle


And my personal favorite, the Crusher

I've seen one video where a soldier gave the LS3 a hearty push with his legs during one of the field test to see how it responds and it immediately recovered its balance. Shame I didn't find it during video skimming.

It took longer than I'd care to admit to realize those were two people...
