Coolness Factor = 10! :) The Coolest and Most Terrifying Biomimetic Robots - Wired.com[^] Not sure if I should be more worried about the "Robuttocks", the "Spiderbot" or the "SnakeBot"? -EM
Very cool. I do a bit of robotics, and that is very impressive. I bet if it was painted more natural colours and put in a swamp, it could easily be mistaken for a real one.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein -

I remember seeing the videos of a previous version of the dog pack, BigDog[^]. It was the most creepy robot ever cause of the buzzing sound. but man, this is a real piece of engineering art. I don't know anything about robots but looking at it's behaviour I think it must be one of the most complex i have ever seen. Just look how it manage to stand on ice (with a little struggle), it's amazing :omg:
