I can’t believe how well this thing not only walks on its own but also recovers from being pushed over and slipping on ice. It can seemingly navigate even the most complicated terrain. I’d love to see something like this walking around theme parks! It’s only a matter of time…

So, initial reaction is, that is scary. It’s hard to look at that thing, given its ability to sense terain, and auto-correct itself, even after falling and being kicked, as being a robot. It truly moves like an animal, which is either amazing or frightening, I guess depending on your point of view. Remember that Harrision Ford Movie “Bladerunner”? You watched it and thought, wow, wouldn’t that be amazing 100 years from now?…hah! Or…Terminator? I guess the military applications are endless.
