Advancements in Quadruped Motion - DeepRobotics

Lite3 from DeepRobotics

  Let me just say this, I'm not so fond of the "face" on this new robot dog/quadruped.  It looks a bit too cartoonish for my taste as a mechanical designer, but I'm head over heels at this robot's ability to leap forward.  That looks to be a very useful maneuver as these types of robots become more common place and have to navigate in the real world.  It's crazy to see just how far quadruped robots have come since Sony released the first Aibo.   Check out the video from DeepRobotics and let me know what you think in the comments below.  Is it too cartoonish?  Does it remind you of a bot from Megaman?
