looks like a ME's wet dream.

wonder how long it took to program it to do those things. because there are far to many axes to controll it by hand methinks

Yea, getting it to lay down and stand back up like that is like the holy grail of robotics. And they gymnasitc style moves were crazy too.

especially standing on one leg, and spinning its arms, with all that mass shifting and the reactionary moments. i say, the footprint probably had a big hand in it though

Seriously, this video gives me hope that we will get to experience an Armored Core-like future within our lifetimes. Huzzah!

its too slow to keep up with an animal.

also it would have to have AI or be able to be controlled in real-time. something that complex would very difficult to control in real time, and AI just isnt there yet - although MIT's robotics department has some very interesting stuff with regards to AI

very true ...but still i think it wouldve been funny.

if the cat was even interested (doubt it from experience with my cats)

then it would be like mike tyson fighting a retarted kid. but without the anal rape, errr... i mean ear biting
