Military eyes armed MUTTs

Self-driving cars are grabbing headlines lately, and the military is also making inroads with similar tech-- but these vehicles are mounted with weapons like machine guns. General Dynamics created MUTT, aka Multi-Utility Tactical Transport, to help dismounted small units. This is a smart robot designed to help lighten the load for Marines and other warfighters. MUTT looks like a futuristic spin on the sort of quad you might have fun driving around your farm. Rectangular shaped, it is 5 feet long and 4.5 feet wide and weighs 750 pounds.
