Robotic horse/dog video - amazing technology

[iceman]

A guy at work sent me this, this morning.

I am simply amazed.. I didn't think this type of technology was available yet.

Robotic headless dog (http://www.core77.com/blog/object_culture/relentless_headless_dog_robot_spell s_doom_for_human_race_9283.asp)

Very, very cool.

And I only watched Terminator 2 the other night!! :gasp:
