 Art of the Possible: BigDog Robot video
Gizmodo says it all about a video of Boston Dynamics quadruped robot capable of carrying a 340 pound load:
It looks like an actual biological quadruped. Seeing it climb through rubble, snow, jumping over obstacles like a wild goat, and saving a near-fall on iced ground at the last second (fast forward to the middle of the video) defies belief. It feels so "animal" that I almost feel bad when they hit it to demonstrate how it regains balance on its own.
