When it was kicked and then it recovered, my only thought was "well that will make it harder to knock down."

When it slipped on the ice I thought "damn, that thing doesn't stop."

When it clambered over the rubble and hopped 3 feet in the air I thought "so how do we get away from it?"

Can I aim for an artificial nerve stem and put it down for good? Seriously, what kind of armor are they going to put around the gearworks and processors?

@bjarmson: "...you make the alarming discovery that Boston Dynamics is being funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Big Dog is going to be a one of the dogs of war."
What about that surprises you even a little bit? War technology is pretty much the #1 reason for any techonological progress. DARPA funds all sorts of things thay may or may never enter a battlefield. It's research which MIGHT have a realworld defense application.

I was a little confused when I heard the euro-metal, because I was watching the first clip and didn't realize both were playing at the same time. It seemed odd to market your company's robot with a death metal anthem blasting in the background.

Stop the video right at the end though and you make the alarming discovery that Boston Dynamics is being funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Big Dog is going to be a one of the dogs of war. Also wonder why they didn't use six legs. The arthropod six legged structure is much more stable and able to traverse difficult terrain than the four legged one. Maybe the Big Ant proposal just didn't fly with military pet lovers.

What this thing really needs is a saddle.

Actually the buzzing sound comes from the mobile power generator, not the engine. If you pay attention in the lab it doesn't make a noise, because they have it hooked on power cables instead of the mobile power source. I had hoped they had fixed the buzzing since the last video.

@Garrison Dean: Wow, really on a roll here aren't you?

The part where he's sliding on the ice and scrambling not to topple over - that's the part where I held my breath.

Its panic and disorientation were palpable.

I definitely cringed when the guy kicked it.

At certain angles it looks so alive, at others its clearly robotic. Either way its doing a great job of tricking my primate brain.
