    Leg placement FTW. While Asimo and other robots try to program a walk cycle that can handle uneven terrain and stairs (and immediatly falls over on anything unexpected), a Boston Dynamics robot just keeps its (missing) head down, putting down one leg after another and rolling with the punches.

    They seem geniuses, but the robots need energy storage breakthroughs and general AI improvements (that squishy stuff I'm treading on is a fainted human) before they're commonplace.

    The video needs "Staying Alive" or "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" as a soundtrack. I'm a woman's robot, no time to talk; just to be the robot who walked 1000 miles to fall down at your door #apocalypse

    The Big Dog just unnerves me. The part where the dude kicks it made me want to call the SPCA, but then I realized it wasn't actually an animal. Then I wanted to call the SPCR, but I realized that Skynet would probably deal with that robot-kicking jackass. #apocalypse

    It looks like a cracked out Texan hooker bent over and on all fours.

    I'm waiting for the version that gives you a roundhouse kick you when you try to shove it around.

    Is it bad that I only clicked the pictures that I could enlarge to get a better look at the Plymouth sedan parked behind it?
