Kinda creepy looking but I could picture it mowing my lawn.

The sound it makes is creepy... they should have called it Beelzebub.

Is it just me or is how it walks super-dainty?

I saw that vid once before. It is really pretty impressive. Makes you wonder what is coming in the next 10 years or so???

Later,

pretty amazing how it responded to the icy situation (and being "pushed")...some good coding there.

Yeah, robotics is getting pretty insane.

Imagine the stuff there aren't public videos of

One of my (e)friends built an automated paint gun turret and wrote all the software and built the whole thing himself. It has target identification and tracking, no shitting you!

We should have it in a royal rumble against the Honda Asimo.
