A Big Dog or remote control robot?

But will it chase cats?

If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it. Very, very impressive! We know a Piezo system can quickly and accurately compensate for imbalance, but the speed in which the limbs react (and the fact that they are fully articulated!!!)... is literally life-like. Still in disbelief.

I wasn't being facetious. One outside observer noted that Big Dog will have reached it's development goal when it is capable of chasing a cat, and catching it.

That is so unreal...well, in a real kind of way, if that makes sense.
It would be fun to watch that chasing hunters! Of course it would need some bullet proof skin and a better silencer, otherwise bars would be filled with stories of an invincible deer out for revenge with a little flatulating problem

That drunken bumblebee sans wings vs. a cat?
My $$ is on Puff.

Just wait till one can be trained to clean windows and scuppers, the deck dept better watch out

Very impressive..Hat of to them geeks in Boston who Frankensteined that animal..But why in the world did they not put some kind of face on it?

A dorky radiator for the 2 stroke lawn-mower motor is the head and the face?

C'um on geeks, make it look like a donky or a dog or something, but not that.

Kinda reminiscent of the old insult "If my dog had a face like yours, I'd shave it's @ss and make it walk backwards".

Incredible. I love this sort of stuff, Asimo especially.
