No doubt some of us have seen stuff by Boston Dynamics before but they're just getting better and better.

Pretty impressive I agree, though I suspect there might have been more than a few amusing outtakes.

[Franky Four Fingers]

So are they programmed to do this or are they action to their surroundings?

Frack, a Cylon.................This has happened before and will happen again!

We're in trouble just as soon as robots learn how to get upstairs.

Very impressive, even if the whole thing is programmed in as a one-trick pony. Seemed to catch its left foot scaling those blocks?

The scary part is whether the military see them as viable.

I'm sure they could be...I mean, we've all seen Robocop

Boston Dynamics do a lot of work for DARPA.

Probably not (yet)
There's already a high tech solution to stop them.

I can see this technology being used for paraplegics and amputees within the next 10 years...

One-trick? I don't think so:

• Two years ago...The Next Generation
  
  
• Five months ago...Getting some air

when they become self aware the guy with the hockey stick is going to be sorry :)

[hogthrob]

New video from them. It's all good fun till the flame thrower starts.

Yep - ‘you have 50 seconds to comply’

Reminds me of a t-shirt I designed for our daughter some years back

...police dog shot multiple times...:

...Roscoe was part of the Massachusetts State Police Bomb Squad and deployed on March 6 in a Barnstable house after police were fired upon. Police sent in two other robots often used for bomb disposal into the house to find the suspect along with the robotic dog.

Controlled remotely by state troopers, it first checked the two main floors before finding someone in the basement. The person, armed with a rifle, twice knocked over the robotic dog before shooting it three times and disabling its communication.

The person then shot at one of the other robots and an outdoor swimming pool before police deployed tear gas and arrested them...
