Thought I'd drop a link to this video of the big dog robot built by Boston Dynamics

I didn't even think that was possible. The bit where he kicks it and the ice wobbles are mind blowing and the video is couple of years old now. I wonder what it looks like?

Imagine a couple of these, painted black, with mounted guns hunting you down in the middle of the night. I suppose that will be what the technology will be used for.

roboDog, the bounty hunter ... and lifting a leg to plug into an electric car charging post.

The part where he maneuvered over those cinder blocks. Wow. Had no idea that robotics was that advanced. Great vid.
