For those of you who love robots, this is as good as it gets. These four-legged robots walk like a horse and can easily navigate hills, stairs and rough terrain. What makes these robots special is that they are capable of navigating to destinations on their own autonomously or by following a human companion – no remote control or pre-programming required. One of the most impressive features is being able to recover from falls and even a surprise kick (check out 0:21 and 0:29).
This is the latest four-legged robot from Boston Dynamics (who was recently acquired by Google), but they also have two-legged and wheeled robots that are just as impressive. Check out some of the other videos that come up when this one ends or check out the Boston Dynamics channel on YouTube. Enjoy!
