Ok I’ll be the first one to admit that I’m never really too impressed with what robots can do. I always hear about millions of dollars of funding being spent on robotics, and I still haven’t found a robot that i really think could make a huge impact… until i watched this video. Boston Dynamics has built their reputation with what they have built on four legs. Their newest bot, the LittleDog can carry up to 350 pounds and is shockingly stable. The technology this robot uses I have never seen before and I’m truly impressed.

Here’s the BigDog, if you have a really short attention span, just fast forward to 35 seconds.
