That looks so incredibly freaky. I had to keep reminding myself that the legs were robotic and not transplanted from an actual dog onto the large metal frame. :eek:

This tech is going to tie in nicely with this funky concept I have (not the telepresence sensory suit thing I mention in my blog post); something else involving what I'm calling a "kirkyan". For anyone who saw those robotic carp videos recently, an artificial musculature and morphable skin/scales would be awesome.

There's just too many cool things coming out now. Hard to keep up with it all.
