This is intersting.
A robot that has almost natural leg movement.
It walks like a horse with stiff knees, but it stumbles about like an organic quadruped.




It kinda reminds me of two GEKKOs fused together.

I saw that a while ago. Pretty freaky. I love when it was trying to walk on ice XD. It looks organic when it stumbles, but in the event of it actually falling, I wonder if it could get up. It looks pretty sturdy, though. I question its usability though. I mean, we have planes, cars, and other things ti transport cargo and people.

Its amazing, the stuff they can do with technology. (Waits to look back and laugh at this statement in 30 years).
