No sneaking up behind enemy lines for sure but seems pretty well suited for carrying heavy loads through rough terrain.

I'd like to see you train a donkey to report back what it sees, crawl into collapsed buildings and send back images of the damage/injury. Also equip it with night vision, thermal, and whatnot. Not to mention the actual person that would need to guide it.
This robot is an early stage prototype, which is not intended to be used for anything else than the research purpose. The goal in the future is to have smaller, stronger, longer lasting, and more "educated" units to perform various tasks at any given environment.
