With all that weight on it, there could be some serious component damage... I guess they do need it to be (and probably already is) rather durable.

Also, I can only imagine if my golden retriever was introduced to "bigdog." My poor dog would FREAK OUT!

My mirror neurons just keep thinking OH MY KNEES!!

Bigdog is pretty well known - see http://reddit.com/info/6cg2y/comments and also click on the title of the page to see the cute robot they are comparing to Bigdog. I agree with John that it looks freaky because the articulation of the legs looks like two people are facing each other inside the robot. -- Alan Hi Kiki.

Although, the legs are a little freaky. The way that they're articulated makes them look rather organic. Very impressive. Although, the legs are a little freaky.
