RoboDog, Attack!


Here is a truly fascinating video demonstrating the abilities of advanced robotics from Boston Dynamics. It's incredible how lifelike the motions are when it slips or is pushed. This video showcases "BigDog". Check this link to see other models from Boston Dynamics

Boston Dynamics is funded by the U.S., and the BigDogs intended use is to take some of the payload off of the soldiers, allowing them to bring more in to a fight when vehicles don't have access.

Although, I wonder what other uses something like this could have. What would it look like with a massive gun on top?
