Payload, walking
CaveatPress coverage only; a separate article (Warrior Maven) frames the same capability as 'lift a soldier weighing almost 180 pounds' (~82 kg), roughly consistent with this figure.
Runtime
CaveatPress coverage only.
Intended use, per the manufacturer
The manufacturer’s words
Uses LIDAR and reinforcement learning to create real-time 3D terrain mapping for mission planning, navigation, and threat assessment; can be armed with 9mm, 5.56mm, and 7.62mm calibre weapons for use as a first line of defence for commandos during counter-insurgency operations.
