BigDog robot video.. WHOA!

A great video of Boston Dynamics's BigDog quadruped robot... this thing is amazingly life-life. Watch it walk over rubble and in deep snow, recover from slipping on ice, and keep its balance when someone tries to kick it over, all while carrying 120 pounds of payload! BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine driving a hydraulic actuation system, all controlled by an on-board computer. You can find more info about it here.
