You should take a look at the video below. First time in a long time when I got an uneasy feeling in relation to the technology. At first glance it seems to me that this robot is much more advanced (in relation to walking) then the ASIMO japanese robot. Also I think the “robot brain” would allow walking on 2 legs only if needed.
If Boston Dynamics could not be verified as legitimate, I would be tempted to say this is a CG hoax. In some small ways, I wish it was. Movement is easily identified as non-organic, but the way it responds is so fluid, it gives a very alien, creepy, feeling watching it. Technology so advanced in application, I feel a gut reaction to it. I don’t know how, or how long, but this is technology that will change the world.
Boston Dynamics is a legitimate company and if you would do a Google search on them you would see other strange robots that are in development.
