Amazing robotics.

It is amazing, but..
I saw video from same company, they were field testing a military robot burro.  Looks like a mechanical elephant, carries gear and follows soldiers on foot.
Cool as heck, but from the terrain they were on, you'd think a light tank could cover the same ground.  Then compare the mechanical complexity of a robotic elephant vs. a tank.
How will the robot hold up to dirt, dust, and water, let alone taking a single round of enemy fire?  And.. will the guys on the ground know how to fix a malfunctioning robot?

Definite cool factor, but I question the practicality...

The biggest advantage--DARPA won't fund any new light tanks. Where's my jet pack?

I smell one hell of an IR lawsuit coming.
You don't mess w/ the EMPIRE..
