Wow, that's really impressive, especially when the guy kicks it. It does move a lot like a dog too. (Impressively noisy too!)

Big giant four legged wingless buzzing fly

That's what it reminds me of. Except that it can walk. And jump. And is really friggin' cool.

The technology is VERY impressive.

...and the part dog part fly aspect is VERY creepy.

I found it to be somewhat creepy as well. It's walking around with no head!

I was talking to ringrose; he said his advisor went to (founded?) that company. To my untrained eye, I don't see what's been added since the stuff I saw demoed at the leg lab, although with the ice stuff, it looks like they combined leg stuff plus levels of competency, which I can't imagine is exactly trivial. :)
