An all-terrain, search-and-rescue humanoid robot simulates how a soldier or object of up to 500 pounds can be lifted and carried, and how it can grasp fragile objects without damaging them at Fort Detrick, Md., Nov. 22, 2010.

This robot, known as the BEAR (Battlefield Extraction Assist Robot) is manufactured by Vecna Technologies of Massachusetts, according to ROBOT magazine.  The remotely-controlled robot has been tested to see if it could rescue wounded soldiers under fire, according to UPI.com.
