This is a DARPA funded project, BigDog is being developed by Boston Dynamics. Watch how well it recovers after slipping on ice, about halfway thru the video.

Or just the video--

Thats pretty cool, very adaptive to the surroundings. Now they need to figure out how to make it carry a gun and identify targets. Erad i thing the sound would scare the h3ll out of the enemy
