Pack-bot...


Boston Dynamics makes a lot of interesting gear for the military. One of the projects they've been working on is 'The BigDog'. A quadruped robot that can carry a payload of around 350 pounds. It can pick it's way over rough terrain, ice, and rubble. Did anyone mention it was kind of creepy looking? Anyhow, watch the rather amazing video of people trying to knock over the robot.
