This video shows Boston Dynamics's Big Dog, which used to just be able to walk up hillsides, but which has now been outfitted to be the sort of robot you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley.

The way the robot moves
has always freaked me out. Just the thing walking around is scarey.
Have you seen the cheetah?
It runs at 25+mph. THAT's scary.
