Imagine this thing chasing after you.

Watch as it recovers after being kicked, and then slipping on the ice.

Reminds me of those "mooing" Gekko robots from Metal Gear 4.

Boston Robotics works a LOT with DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) - the DoD's mad science lab.

Lots of Boston Dynamics' beasts in the RWI/Science sections...

To sum things up: we are going to die very soon.

It seems to me that if they fitted it with different types of "feet" for different terrains, then it would be even better. The small points that it currently walks on seem really inefficient for walking on softer materials (like the snow in the video, or even mud or sand). That should also help it when walking over loose gravel, etc.
