Hello
The Most Advanced Quadruped Robot on Earth  BigDog Robot video
BigDog is the alpha male of the Boston Dynamics family of robots. It is a quadruped robot that walks, runs, and climbs on rough terrain and carries heavy loads. BigDog is powered by a gasoline engine that drives a hydraulic actuation system. BigDog's legs are articulated like an animal’s, and have compliant elements that absorb shock and recycle energy from one step to the next. BigDog is the size of a large dog or small mule, measuring 1 meter long, 0.7 meters tall and 75 kg weight. More>>>

Good job, you shamelessly advertised.

I hate the Big Dog. I've seen it before and it creeps me out. And I don't like that it can figure out how to walk on random jagged rubble and can recover from slipping on ice like something that's alive.

[preventerWIND]

Yeah, same feelings as Mike, totally creeps me out, looks like something thats gonna kill you..

[Mikero]

It is basically a creature. The more it acts like a dog the creepier it gets. It's movement isn't the worst part, it's the size of the thing. It runs around like a tiny dog would except that it's the size of sabretooth tiger. But I'd rather meet a sabretooth tiger.

What is this!?  Some kind of dog?  Like a big dog!?

I don't think this is a normal member.  Might be a spybot or spider bot or something.
