New Boston Dynamics Robot

Now if they could just do half this much without a huge tether for power and control.  This is an interesting experiment and perhaps a nice first step, but I hate the message it sends to people that don't understand the technology.  We're a million miles from seeing this walk down the street.  Still...  Pretty cool to watch!

I like to see these things faceplant.

Yes, cool, Yes many years before it's out and about, but if I did see that in a dark alley somewhere that thing in a gas mask like that would freak me out!
