Movie of a load-bearing dog-like robot that can’t be kicked over, that can walk in the woods up a hill, sometimes recover from slipping on ice, walk over a pile of concrete blocks, and run.

Here’s the BigDog project page.

I know we already posted a link to a video of this amazing robot, but that link is dead so I thought I’d post another one.
