I agree Mop, is it programmed to get to a spot at all costs, or does it just go straight and knows to keep moving.

Search for "Big Dog" on Youtube for many other videos. Also I guess there was some info on the site of Boston Dynamics (not sure).

Man this is awesome bring it on!!! The part where the dag bot goes on the ice is wicked & he learns to control his movements.

Can you imagine these things doing like "search & rescue"

Where no man can go we will send Super Dog.... his brother is Big Dog

I don't know why this is bothering me - I guess I can't remember something - but after the last upgrade of its software, BigDog is running to every woman he can find and asks "Sarah Connor?" :roll:
