My guess would be to scout enemy position ahead of the soldiers. Then again, robot dogs are really noisy so maybe it is more of a distraction. Supposedly those could be fitted with smoke grenade/flashbang launchers.
With the LiDAR it’s hosting, it could be making a 3D map of the interior of the building, or potentially for laser comms.
I also see 2 USB charging ports which the soldiers can use to charge their gear, so it’s a portable charging station as well.
There looks like a large bright light as well.
EDIT: and if all else fails you can drop it on someone’s head!
They can use stairs, which is good for urban warfare.
A wheeled/tracked vehicle designed to use stairs may have to be bigger, heavier and ultimately more expensive.
Tiny flying drones could also navigate over stairways, but those may have to be small to do that and thus not able to use half as decent sensor packages as a dog sized platform could.
