This Bigdog Quadrapod from Boston Dynamics is truly amazing. Watch as it climbs debris, regains it’s balance after a sharp kick to the side, and slips and slides across an icy spot maintaining it’s dignity better than most humans would. It looks freakishly like two people facing each other as it runs, like something plucked from one of the Vegas circus shows.

So far, BigDog has trotted at 3.3 mph, climbed a 35 degree slope and carried a 120 lb load.
