Yeah but this is a niche military application at best. Something like "carry extra ammo for the patrol out on patrol". And the range of terrains it will need to autonomously handle is huge, and not foul up, or make a noise, and take cover when necessary. I mean an Infantry fighting vehicle can carry more, provide transport and protection and probably manage a wider range of terrain, and is only slightly more noticeable ! This to me seems like a very cool piece of engineering looking for a problem to solve. I think civilian applications are likely to vastly outweigh military.
