TexasToast passed me a link a year or so ago of BigDog - a terrifying robotic dog-like creature that is semi-autonomous. Link to original creepy video here of an early prototype demonstrating the walking capability in rough terrain.
You can't even kick it over!! It's better than you! In ice and snow! YOU'D have fallen on that ice - but it catches itself twice! Scared yet? How about now?
Well, get ready for more because those scary little f_ckers just won a $32 million dollar contract to put these things into production.
Don't be fooled, they can be disarmingly cute.
