Video of robot dog : Amazing !



Here is a video of an amazing robot called the LittleDog Robot. I'm not sure that it resembles a little dog but more a giant insect. What is amazing is it's agility, it's ability to walk or crawl over various rough and smooth surfaces, get over a small fence, climb stairs, climb over gaps. It just keeps going and going.

It's bizarre in that it is a mechanical object made of solid materials but it looks like a real animal with real thought processes, quite surreal !!

You can find out more about this by the guys who designed it at http://www-clmc.usc.edu
