Boston Dynamics Petman

Boston Dynamics, makers of Big Dog, have been developing Petman.  Just like Big Dog, it has the ability to remain upright when pushed.  Petman will be used by the US military for testing chemical protection clothing to be worn on soldiers.

What makes Petman so interesting is the realistic human gait and heel to toe walking, just like us humans.
