Not everyone can be a BigDog

The BigDog is a four-legged robot developed by Boston Dynamics to traverse surfaces unsuitable for wheeled vehicles, such as ice and mountains, possibly to carry equipment or supplies for military and/or relief operations. There is a weird loveliness to its movement – the engineers should be proud. The latest version is shown here navigating various terrain, even recovering its balance after a hard kick to the side and a slip on an icy parking lot.



Now that you've watched that marvelous engineering achievement....

enjoy this ;-)
