Their robots are built and designed to have remarkable behaviour and are extremely mobile, fast, and agile.

Boston Dynamics released new footage of it’s robot “Big Dog“. Big Dog is a rough-terrain robot that can walk, run, climb and carry heavy loads. The robots control systems help it remain balanced – even when the thing gets booted! Seeing this sort of progression in technology is truly inspiring – it demonstrates there are many more exciting possibilities for the future of robotics.
