Scary Boston Dynamics Robot video “PETMAN Prototype”

“Biped robot that balances dynamically using a human-like walking motion.”

Boston Dynamics is a small engineering and robotics firm spun off from MIT in 1982. According to its own Web site it “builds advanced robots with remarkable behavior: mobility, agility, dexterity and speed.” Those parameters sound kinda military-like for a reason: BD has worked with DARPA, the Army, the Navy, and Marine Corps, as well as the more innocuous-sounding Sony. Their current starting lineup:Biped robot that balances dynamically using a human-like walking motion.

Can it be more realistic (scary)?

Comments are appreciated.
