robotic horse - must see video...

Robo horse...

This is really quite amazing...
in places it behaves uncanny-ly like a horse

later in the video we see a very passable piaffe!!!!
 
I love the 'trotting down the road' ... and the 'hacking in company'
and the 'getting up from a roll' is pretty realistic too...

Although I think it would definitely benefit from a vet visit...
!!! ;-}
appears to have horrific stringhalt, arthritis etc

At first I thought it was demonstrating rein back, but it turns out the first section is filmed 'from behind'





(hope this forum link works...) 
this is the response I got when I posted this to a forum a couple of days ago >>> click here

Robot Information from developer's web site... 

LS3 is a dynamic robot designed to go anywhere Soldiers and Marines go on foot. Each LS3 will carry up to 400 lbs of gear and enough fuel for missions covering 20 miles and lasting 24 hours. LS3 will not need a driver, because it will automatically follow a leader using computer vision or travel to designated locations using sensing and GPS.
