The U.S. military now has a robotic flapping hummingbird (!) in its bag of tricks. Pity our enemies nectar supplies.

BigDog Quadrupedal Robot!

This is the BigDog Quadrupedal Robot from Boston Dynamics.

Is it not a bit chilling to watch it move?

Boston D’s got lots of little critters in the pipeline:

Nothing quite gets under your skin line BigDog, though. In the video, when the guy kicks it in the side and it immediately compensates? Chilling. What about when it nearly slips on the ice? It reminded me of nature footage of a giraffe baby’s tentative first steps.

Just think, if this is Version 1, what will Version 10 look like?

Like this?

Start saving up for that EMP. It’s the only way to beat the Machines.
