    Very impressive.

    We have been dreaming of such machines since the 1940's at least.

    And still they don't work.

    It's just a show, like the automata of Victorian times.

    Japs make toy robots, and when their nuclear facility failed, they had to use robots from europe. Not impressed at all.

    Certainly not as impressive as the DARPA robots.

    I guess robots are like people - some are only good for entertainment while others actually accomplish something...

    Especially the boston dynamic's "big dog" is impressive, when it gets kick and still maintains itself (0:35 mark)

    When first I saw it, I was really shocked, it behaved so naturally, that was very creepy...
