    Amazing "Big Dog" Robot

    I've been following the world of robotics pretty closely lately and I've observed a lot of progress being made, but this video really blew my mind. General Dynamics, with funding from DARPA, is developing it for the military as a replacement for mules and horses in mountainous regions.

    That's really creepy.

    I felt bad when the guy kicked it. haha

    The legs look like two midgets carrying a coffee table. One set of legs going forward, one backward, you know?
