My comment:
(a) Boston Dynamics debuted BigDog in 2007, which has served in Afghanistan since 2009.

There is no need to read the above report.

(b) Now it debuts 2.0, whose unofficial name is AlphaDog but official one, IS3.

("New version of the Big Dog project is ten times quieter than previous prototype")

There is no need to read this report, either.
