Things like this make one wonder just what all do we have in robotics and more-so what's in the works. I'm sure we wouldn't believe some of the developing militery stuff if we saw it in action.

It should be mule, I can't figure why they called it Big Dog.

Incredible leg movements, makes it look alive.

That is amazing! I also saw a truck being developed with DOD funds that can drive itself. We already have planes that are nearly self-controlled. This is a good tool for the military. Protects our soldiers.
