Boston Dynamics Big Dog

This is the newest technology out of the United States. Of course these dog robots are being funded by the US military, and are going to make huge profits for Boston Dynamics - the private sector defense engineering firm who designed them. Big Dog is going to do reconnaissance ahead of combat troops. To me the scariest part, is not how Big Dog rights itsself on ice, or when attacked, but how they are updating the technology so that Big Dog will be able to jump and run like an actual dog. That is the very last demonstration in this clip. There are way more videos of Big Dog on youtube. Some are more recent and the progression is frightening.
