Really, how far are we from no longer sending humans into war? 20 years?

That DARPA competition could be a lot more interesting this time.

Some of their quadrupeds could probably see use a lot sooner, they have a fairly large one called the wild cat that can almost reach 20 mph.

Unless it's yelling out "PARKOUR!" each time it jumps, then it's not real.

Why are we making them better at chasing us? 

[Chadatog]

First thing I noticed was the lack of a tether that was in most of there other bipedal vids, so it has it's own power supply now.

But I don't want robot hugs.

Did the people who design these things never watch the Terminator?

 

Arnold wasn't parkouring after Sarah Conner and that's one of the few reasons he failed.

[Keyser_Soze]

Not impressed because it didn't jump off the wall do a 180 and shoot a target.

Hey Boston Dynamics, cool! Good job. You can stop now.

Is this going to be the next Assassin's Creed?
