It has to listen better than my dog.....Might have to take one for a test drive.

The balance recovery is amazing.

I look forward to what that technology brings in the future!

I saw that the other day, pretty amazing. They need that type of technology/balance on bikes so they don't go down.

I bet the dog glitches titanium.

Robotic dog...

I can't help but imagine what that balance technology can do for our returning Veteran amputees or anybody confined to a wheelchair.

Great find,

This is a DARPA project designed to carry a 340 lb. payload over a variety of terrains.

Reminds me of the $1M NASA project to design a pen that would write in zero-G.

The Russians used a pencil.

I image in this case, the Russians would use a donkey or llama!

The only thing is the Russian donkey's or llama's don't sound like a 2-stroke.

Urban legend.

Fisher Space pen developed at zero cost to the government.

I'd love to see a line-by-line code trace on split-screen with the video as the dog does the traverse and hits the ice. That recovery was really impressive.

Made my black Lab watch it three times. Now all he does is lay in the corner and make awful humming sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was nothing short of fascinating...

...and creepy at the same time. I'll be having nightmares.
