I like this new vid even more.
BTW, was I the only one that laughed watching a robot slip on ice?
"That's sad," said Montag, quietly, (referring to The Mechanical Hound) "because all we put into it is hunting and finding and killing. What a shame if that's all it can ever know."
Almost, because the Big Dog weighs 235 lbs and has a payload of 340 lbs. This means you could strap another one onto its back and let let that one flail around hopelessly attempting to get its footing.
For some reason, I started laughing a few seconds into the video... imagine it wandering into a backyard with a bunch of kids playing.
"BZZZRRRZZZZRRRZZZZRRRZZZZ AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Pretty amazing though, especially watching it catch itself while slipping on ice.
to be able to get it NOT fall over when kicked... To recover from sliding on the ice, that quickly!
That really is amazing
(up vote!)
Is it me, or if you draped some guts, flayed skin and offal over this it would look like something out of Silent Hill...
Just saying
but very impressive engineering feat!

downvote for animal cruelty when he kicks the dog.
You joke but I find it interesting that many peoples' instinctual reaction to that part is just that. The way it moves to correct itself is so organic that you feel as if you're watching a live animal being kicked.
We're going to mount Siftbot on something like that.
I dare you to change siftbots avatar to the sift-can on top of those legs.

Well that's the is the normal human reaction and it shows just how advanced the motor skills of them have become. Combine that with the Aibo robots "personality" that people find natural and you've got yourself a robot dog.

"a headless mountain goat powered by kazoos."
Hahah
Now imagine a bunch of these things running through the woods like deer....and they're all after YOU.
Sleep well tonight....Skynet is at our doorstep.
Camera tripods have rubber feet that you can retract to expose a metal spike if that works better for you on whatever terrain you're placing it on. (see the first item here) You'd think with all the sensors they've got in this thing, it could extend a spike automatically when it senses it's walking on something slippery.
Ya, I was thinking that too, but they probably wanted to demonstrate the technology, not the practicality. Would it have been so cool if it had snow shoes and walked across?

UPVOTE for kicking the dog! That was cool to see it recover.
The part where it continuously slips on ice HAS to be *comedy
