Can you imagine running into this in the woods?
Meet BigDog, a robot from Boston Dynamics.
Lifelike to the point of creepiness. Yikes.
I hope that's private land that they're testing it on. Otherwise it's gonna startle some hunter and get blasted to bits.
I caught myself thinking, that's a good animation they got there!
I'd give anything to see BigDog dance a jig.
Just Added!
A hilarious spoof of BigDog that I saw today.

pretty amazing!
I for one welcome our new obnoxiously loud, quadrupedal overlords. :)
Whoops, I forgot to warn viewers to turn down the sound. They should call it BigBuzz.
I suspect this technology will eventually trickle down to some cool toys.
really INTERESTING, But Don't they have back LEGS on Front END? (Excuse caps)
It looks like two people facing each other to me.

Yes, I noticed the backward leg thing too. I think that's what makes it extra creepy. It's so nimble, but it rings the "there's something wrong here" bell.
